[Expectperl-discuss] Is it possible to interrupt spawned session (like Ctrl-C)

[markgo <gol...@gm...>]

Hi,

In some script I'm sending the command that runs some tool that could only
be stopped by pressing Ctrl-C. It does not wait for any input. Is there any
way to simulate this Ctrl-C (that is SIGINT) except closing the session?

Currently it looks like that:

$session = new Expect;
$session->spawn("su - $user_name") or die "..."; # Script runs as root
$session->expect(....);
...

$session->send("sudo $tool");

...

This is a tool I'd like to interrupt.

$session->send("\cC") does not work, I suppose because the tool is not
waiting for input.

Thank you,
Mark
