there is no redirection, unless you do so explicitly. output will
appear on stdout (1) and stderr (2), if you tell expect to do so:

log_user 1

Hello John , The '-s' option in jlogin sets log_user to 1 by
default . And I have in my -s scripts set it to 1 as well .
Still no output from the router .

I have tried 'log_file -a -noappend junk.txt' & it is empty as
well . I do not even get the 'send_user' output I have setup to
give me (sort of) debug output . I just tried send_error & is
swallows that output too !-{

Where else can I look ? Tia , JimL

no, it sets it to 0 when a script is specified.

174 if { $do_script } {
175 log_user 0
176 } else {
177 log_user 1
178 }

then i suspect either an error in how you are running jlogin from your
shell, a typo in the script, or your expect binary is buggered. really
can not say without seeing the code.

also, see the examples in util/*.exp.

Here's a good one on me . If I use the -s option & do_script is
set to 0 the script specified in the -s option is not processed .
If set to 1 it does get processed . And the using the log_file
(ie: log_file -a -noappend junk.txt) I am able to get the output
from my sub script . But otherwise nothing gets sent to stdout .
The note above the do_script seems to say that the underlying
script is responsible for sending output , But instead of having
anything to do with output it is input that gets shanghi'd .
Now that I can at last can get output ot appear someplace do
you have any thoughts on getting output to stdout ?

That is where I stole the basis for the script .

Can you send the script? I can give it a shot on one of my junipers
& see if I spot anything.

The example scripts work for me. all i can suggest is what andrew already
has, send the code. you can send it to rancid at shrubbery.net if you do not
wish it to appear on the list.

see expect_after() (expect(1)). you're inheriting the one from
proc login().

From the output I have the jlogin script itself is not completing
thru to login when I issue the -s option from inside a sh script .
But , from the cmd line it will complete .

Do you have a URL that describes expect_after's use ?
I have found the instance in the 'jlogin' But , We should at
least be getting logged into the router -before- I run into the
expect_after being inherited into my script . Right ?

Hello John , All , Never mind . Being blind(figuratively) has
its draw backs . The script I had created was using the incorrect
secondary prompt string . Tnx all for the help . JimL
