If my failing brain is working right you can also nest "expect" statements to send different commands depending on what was sent from the machine you are connecting to. I had to do this with the Cisco routers because the command prompt was different depending on which version of the IOS was installed. This way I only needed one script to cover all of the routers I maintained. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
