Hello to all...this is my first post (so please go easy).
I feel pretty solid at expect scripting, but I'm running into an issue that I'm not able to wrap my head around. I wrote a script that is a little advanced for logging into a remote Linux machine and changing text in a file using sed. What I'm trying to do is set the stty echo and stty -echo command several times in the script to show or not show user input (for things like passwords etc). Instead, I get a buffer overflow whenever I try to unset the stty output (i first set it with stty -echo then later with stty echo). Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks for any help!
I'm not an expect expert, but stty should be no problem. You probably have a bug somewhere else. The only thing with stty is that you're supposed to use the builtin in stty:
Do not do this: exec stty -echo
Do this: stty -echo
It says here, in my expect book, that the reason is that stty is not standard. I have found stty to be standard for stuff like this, but I would follow the book's technique anyway.
