Re: [Expectperl-discuss] Some issues I am getting , please solve that

[Roland G. <rgi...@cp...>]

Why don't you just write a shell script that groups the remote commands 
and also checks their exit states and then directly call that script 
with 'ssh remote-script.sh'? Alternatively you could execute those 
commands one by one using only ssh, because ssh will report the exit 
status back to you...

$ ssh user@host "exit 78"; echo $?
78

Expect is only for "curing those uncontrollable fits of interaction". as 
Don Libes has put it. If you can manage without, do so.

Hope this helps,

Roland
