Re: Executing an expect script

[David Parks]

Actually, it turned out that in my shell script, I had to:
   export SHELL=/bin/bash
before calling the expect script.  Even though my env variables were already 
setup, when invoking the expect script the SHELL variable wasn't being passed.

Thanks for the help!
