Hi,

 

I am using TCL and Expect 5.8.3.

One of my customers is using Linux and AIX and a big banner at the
logon.

When he run my script on AIX I see in the expect log that it receive
large chunks of data from the AIX.

When he run my script on Linux I see in the expect log that Linux send 1
characters after the other and it takes long time for the entire banner
to be received.

 

This is an example from the Expect internal log:

expect: does "*" (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression " .*\$ ?$|.*\#
?$|.*>  ?$|.*\% ?$|.*\] ?$ "? no

expect: does "**" (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression " .*\$
?$|.*\# ?$|.*>  ?$|.*\% ?$|.*\] ?$ "? no

expect: does "***" (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression " .*\$
?$|.*\# ?$|.*>  ?$|.*\% ?$|.*\] ?$ "? no

expect: does "****" (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression " .*\$
?$|.*\# ?$|.*>  ?$|.*\% ?$|.*\] ?$ "? no

expect: does "*****" (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression " .*\$
?$|.*\# ?$|.*>  ?$|.*\% ?$|.*\] ?$ "? no

expect: does "******" (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression " .*\$
?$|.*\# ?$|.*>  ?$|.*\% ?$|.*\] ?$ "? no

expect: does "****** " (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression " .*\$
?$|.*\# ?$|.*>  ?$|.*\% ?$|.*\] ?$ "? no

expect: does "******  " (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression " .*\$
?$|.*\# ?$|.*>  ?$|.*\% ?$|.*\] ?$ "? no

expect: does "******   " (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression " .*\$
?$|.*\# ?$|.*>  ?$|.*\% ?$|.*\] ?$ "? no

expect: does "******   *" (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression "
.*\$ ?$|.*\# ?$|.*>  ?$|.*\% ?$|.*\] ?$ "? no

expect: does "******   **" (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression "
.*\$ ?$|.*\# ?$|.*>  ?$|.*\% ?$|.*\] ?$ "? no

 

 

 

Do you know if I can enlarge the size of the chunks send by the remote
machine?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks,

Yaron
