I just introduced some sleep in between the commands, as suggested by you, but still the sam
e problem remains.
% source GW_connect.exp
child process exited abnormallychild process exited abnormallysend: spawn id exp5 not open%
%
 
Still i don't have any idea why i get the same error "spawn id exp5 not open". I don't know 
whether the spawn is executed correctly or not.

This is common error with expect.  Trying inserting a few sleeps:
package require Expectspawn telnet 192.168.xx.xxexpect login: 
sleep 2send "root\r"expect Password: 
sleep 2send "admin123\r"expect #
sleep 2send "\r"expect #send "show run\r"expect #

Jeff / Expect Gurus, I use Windows XP and run basic expect command in the tclsh console of t
he activestate TCL version 8.4.15.0 and i get an error.I use expect to do a telnet to the ga
teway and send some commands to config it. But i get an error as "spawn id exp5 not open" wh
en the send command is used. The script is here : package require Expectspawn telnet 192.168
.xx.xxexpect 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 conso
le : % source GW_connect.expchild process exited abnormally% send: spawn id exp5 not open%% 
tclsh GW_connect.expsend: 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 le
t me know why this error comes and how can i get out of it and can run the script successful
ly. Eagerly waiting for the reply. Rgds,s.suresh
