In an FC3 gnome-terminal, I try to run the following script: ---------------------- #!/usr/bin/expect -- spawn ssh 192.168.0.9 expect "word: " send "password\r" expect "]$ " interact ----------------------
I don't think it's possible to get any simpler than that. It completes
successfully and everything seems to be just fine. Until I attempt to
run a command in the newly spawned ssh session that generates a fair
amount of output such as "ls -la /usr/bin" or cat'ing a larger text
file. The output of such a command starts off like normal but before it
finishes, the output gets "stuck", for lack of a better word. A few
screenfuls of output go by and then it simply stops in it's tracks. The
output jiggles around a bit in the term window but the output doesn't
finish. The cursor seems stuck in place. I can't Ctrl-c out of it
either but rather I have to manually kill it.
Does this seem like a gnome-terminal problem or a script problem? Thanks!
Ive seen this in VC too, so that rules out gnome-terminal, however always
with SSH, so maybe this is rather an SSH problem.
I just tried the same script with telnet instead of SSH. The exact same thing happens so it's not an SSH thing.
I don't know what a VC is that you mentioned but when I run the script from a console, it behaves beautifully with none of the bad behavior I described earlier. So from my perspective, it still could be a gnome-terminal issue. But I suppose it could be an environment thing or maybe even a desktop or Gnome problem.
I'm just grasping at straws and hoping for suggestions.
I just tried to run the script a couple more ways. In xterm and konsole, the exact same bad behavior occurs as when I stsrt it in gnome-terminal. So it's sounding less and less like a strictly gnome-terminal issue. I'd even say that Expect itself could be suspect except for the fact that it runs just peachy in a full screen (ctrl-alt-F1) console.
*Something* is causing this weird behavior...
