	The following code snippet works fine for me when called from cron.
I recall having problems using expect with early versions of ssh.
	Perhaps you could tell us your OS, ssh, Expect, and IO::Tty versions?

	Btw, in reponse to a couple other postings, Expect uses IO::Tty to
create a tty to run the command in and sets its controlling terminal to the tty
it creates.  Reads and writes to /dev/tty should work just fine. That's the
idea anyway, and it works here just fine.

I'm using:

Expect v. 1.15, IO::Tty v. 1.00, perl 5.6.1, ssh OpenSSH_3.5p1,
Linux, kernel ver. 2.4.20

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Expect;

$ssh = new Expect;

$ssh->spawn("/usr/local/bin/ssh", "localhost");

$ssh->expect(10, "password: ");

print $ssh "$ARGV[0]\n";

$ssh->expect(10, '$' );
