while expect is a grand tool, this is one area that continues to
frustrate me. I think that the solution is in the expect{} statement
for that logout portion of the script. I cant remember specifically how
I have dealt with that kind of problem, but try adjusting timeout
variable prior to the logout expect{}. Also might have expect look for
eof. The other possibility is that the session is closed prior to
getting to the logout. Also set log_user to 1 to see all the output.
