How to send Ctrl Break combination in Expect

Shell Programming and Scripting

Greetings,

I am writing an Expect script to automate multiple processes on an HP-UX system. Everything has gone fine so far but I now have run into a problem. One of the processes that I'm trying to automate requires the key combination of ctrl break and I have so far been unable to figure out how to send it. What would the best way to accomplish this be? Here's the code snippet of the last thing that I tried:

expect {
 timeout {
  system $EmailCommand
  sleep 360000
 }
 ">" {
  send -b
 }
}

Your control break selection will be mapped to a specific character or character sequence by the terminal handler to send to the remote device. You simply need to determine exactly what ASCII character(s) are being sent and replicate it on your expect send line.

You may be able to determine the sequence by turning on expect logging and going into expect interactive mode, so what you type is logged.

Hope that helps.
