Is this an SSH password you're giving it? If so, try using an SSH keypair for authentication. A passwordless key is no less secure than having the password in the expect file (it's probably more secure), and you can even create single-purpose keys that can only be used to run a single command (see http://www.arches.uga.edu/~pkeck/ssh/, scroll down to "Single-purpose keys") Also, you can try just a simpler regexp for the password. I know very little about expect scripts -- only in the context of having seen it in old PPP tutorials -- but they never used a full expression to expect logins and password. For login they always used "ogin:" and for password they always ued "word:". This would avoid capitalization differences. --Ken Bloom -- I usually have a GPG digital signature included as an attachment. See http://www.gnupg.org/ for info about these digital signatures.
