according to your expect script.. you are waiting for the command prompt, execute the command and then exit... why not use ssh to execute the command on the remote side? eg. $ ssh u...@host command it will do exactly the same with your expect script.. unless you need more interaction during the execution of that command thus you need the expect utility... fooler. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
