Here is how you do it with expect.
In the linux windows press ctrl ]. This will give you the telent> You then
type send Break. Here is some sample code.
expect "#" { send "" } timeout { TimeOut
$SCRIPT_NAME\_Sending_Break_Sequence_To_Exit_Script_Completed\_$termserv\_$p
ort }
expect {
-re "telnet>" {
send "send Break\r"
}
As you can see in the send " " you cannot copy and paste the "ctrl ]" But
that is where it goes.

Good luck there mate....
BREAK from a TTY is actually a signal being sent as opposed to some
ASCII code which ctrl-BRK from a PC sends.
I am guessing you are using expect to connect to some terminal server
which has an async connection to a router's console port?
I know this is hardly using expect (its hardly automated at all), but
what you can do is change the baud rate of the console port to 1200
from the terminal server and hold space bar continually whilst the
receiving router reloads (don't change the speed of the console port
on the router, only the terminal server). When the screen output
appears "static" after all the out-of-sync symbols etc stop popping
up, you are in rommon. Go back to 9600 and off you go.
Cheers,
Matt
