Your script works just fine for me (simply modified to telnet to a local
host). I also use expect with SSH every day with no problems (well, it is a
little quirky sometimes, but basic "spawn" functionality works. My ssh
script is a bit more complex, and it works.
I am using this version:
$ expect -v
expect version 5.26
CYGWIN DLL version is 1.3.12. OS is Windows XP Pro.

After giving up on trying to get autoexpect to run I
decided I would try a basic expect script
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn telnet 1.2.3.4
# I tried spawn telnet "1.2.3.4" with no good result
expect "login:"
send "uid\r"
expect "word:"
send "pass\r"
interact
Pretty basic, but it won't work. Obviously the spawn
telnet calls MS's telnet client, but this is the error
msg....
$ ./login.exp
spawn telnet 1.2.3.4
send: invalid spawn id (4)
while executing
"send "uid\r""
(file "./login.exp" line 5)
I tried the expect cmd line and it seems maybe it
doesn't like the \r, maybe there is another way to
send a return ? Can anyone help me ?
Thanks
