[Expectperl-discuss] set "window" size, when running via a cron'd shell script

[Ed S. <got...@gm...>]

Hello all,

I have a perl script using Expect, called by a shell script (which
spawns the perl script endlessly), the shell script launched by cron.=20
This is on Solaris 9.

The output that my perl script is getting via expect is chopped off at
80 characters.  I tried doing :

system("stty columns 512");

then
$sqsh->slave->clone_winsize_from(\*STDIN);

before doing the spawn, but this doesn't do anything.  I'm not clear
on how I can pass a 'window' size in to Expect in a background script.

Any thoughts?
