[Expectperl-discuss] Spawn from Expect.pm In The Background

[Simon T. <se...@no...>]

I have a script which spawns telnet expect handles. Works marvellously when
run in the foreground - when I run the same script in the background it
stops just after "AHEAD OF SPAWN".
Doesn't even die gracefully - just stops.
I don't understand enough about pty's to take this forward. What do I need
to do/read to make this work when run in the background.

Regards

Simon

 $self->{_logger}->debug("AHEAD OF SPAWN");

      eval {    
        $Spawned = Expect->spawn("$args[0] $args[1]");
        $msg = "Spawning to $args[0] $args[1]\n";
        $self->{_logger}->info($msg);
      };

      $self->{_logger}->debug("AFTER OF SPAWN");
