Re: [Expectperl-discuss] ssh works from console but not once daemonized

[Chris M. <mut...@mc...>]

Yes.  I used that extensively when debugging the program that the fragment=
 in my original
post came from.  However, in this case, the script works perfectly when=
 running on the terminal and I can
see the output of that ($Expect::Exp_Internal=3D1;), but when the script is=
 daemonized, there is no connection
to the terminal to send output to.

Note that in the fragment in my original post, I 'close STDOUT;'.
I even tried something like the following.

close STDOUT;
open (STDOUT, "> log_file");
print "Hello, World!\n";

That worked.  I was able to use standard print statements (that print to=
 STDOUT by default)
to send stuff to the file, but any output from expect did not show up in=
 the file.

I tried that again just now to be sure.  I even tried opening STDERR to a=
 file.
In both cases the program now hangs with a 0 length output file.
It does not even say that it did not get the prompt.  I know that is hung=
 as it showed up
in `ps -eaf`  for a longer time than any of its timeouts.

Thanks for the idea though :-)
