Re: Executing an expect script

[Jan-Henrik Haukeland]

Did you try something like this;

.. exec "/bin/bash -c '2>&1 1>/tmp/debug.txt /path/to/myscript'"

All output will go to the debug.txt file which you can investigate for any 
errors. After debugging you should send output to /dev/null instead or remove 
the stdio redirections.
