This is common error with expect.  Trying inserting a few sleeps:

package require Expect
spawn telnet 192.168.xx.xx
expect login: 

sleep 2
send "root\r"
expect Password: 

sleep 2
send "admin123\r"
expect #

sleep 2
send "\r"
expect #
send "show run\r"
expect #

Jeff / Expect Gurus,
 
I use Windows XP and run basic expect command in the tclsh console of
the activestate TCL version 8.4.15.0 and i get an error.
I use expect to do a telnet to the gateway and send some commands to
config it. But i get an error as "spawn id exp5 not open" when the send
command is used.
 
The script is here :
 
package require Expect
spawn telnet 192.168.xx.xx
expect login: 
send "root\r"
expect Password: 
send "admin123\r"
expect #
send "\r"
expect #
send "show run\r"
expect #
 
I get the following error when i run the above file in tclsh console :
 
% source GW_connect.exp
child process exited abnormally
% send: spawn id exp5 not open
%
% tclsh GW_connect.exp
send: spawn id exp4 not open
    while executing
"send "root\r""
    (file "GW_connect.exp" line 4)
 
I tried googling but could not find any solution.Can anyone just let me
know why this error comes and how can i get out of it and can run the
script successfully.
 
Eagerly waiting for the reply.
 
Rgds,
s.suresh
