Hi : I try your scripts except changing the spawn directory but still does not work. I wonder is it because my mysql is window version and I am running the Expect scripts in the Cygwin environment.Here is the output below. It looks like Expect is not getting the feedback from mysql output.It keep waiting for "mysql>" but did not find it.

Here's my script: % cat junk spawn /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql test send "select version();" expect "mysql>" send "select now();\r" expect "mysql>" send "quit;\r" expect EOF And here's the result of running it: % expect junk spawn /usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql test select version();Welcome to the MySQL monitor.
