RE: [Expectperl-discuss] 2.4.14 Linux Kernel

[<ksc...@mi...>]

In short, here is what I'm doing:

Proc::Daemon::Init unless $no_daemon;
my $exp = Expect->spawn("/bin/bash");
my $prompt = '#|\$';
$exp->exp_internal(1);
$exp->expect(5,-re=>$prompt);
$exp->clear_accum();
$exp->send("cd /home/kjs/application\n");
$exp->clear_accum();
$exp->expect(5,-re=>$prompt);
$exp->clear_accum();
$exp->send("nohup ./program -daemon &\n");

Note that "program" mush be run from a shell. Don't ask. Anyway, on
the older linux system, this work. When I run it on the newer kernel,
the last Expect send statement doesn't seem to get executed until I
either ctrl-c my Expect script or I kill -9 it. Then "program" shows
up in a ps listing. Here's what I get when I run it on the new system:

Here's the output of the Expect script on the newer Linux kernel:

Notice the "bash: no job control in this shell" at the top of the
Expect output. This the only difference between the output on the new
kernel and the old kernel. This is probably the problem. Any idea how
I can fix it?
