Hi All We have a windows application to install on console mode typing on cygwin shell "app.exe -i console" On Windows process window, we could see this kicks a process named ia which in turn kicks off ia_launcher to kick off another java.exe process. ie
app.exe -- kick off --> ia --> kicks off --> ia_launcher --kicks off --> java.exe We like to use pexpect to interact with the ia_launcher process, which seems to control the stdin/stdout of its own shell window to allow user to enter responses. So far, our research shows most examples are related to use of direct child process, in this case, app.exe process interacting with pexpect. How do we go about using pexpect to talk to app.exe's grandchild's shell window ? We set Don L's expect example where he could "set id $spawn_id" between direct child processes but it's still to us how we can accomplish our goal. Thanks for your kind help Sincerely -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
