Expect script to run a Shell script on remote server
Hi All,

I am using a expect script to run a shell script on remote server, the code is as follows. But the problem is that it executes only first command, and hangs it doesn't run the next commands.
Code:
spawn ssh $uid@$host
expect "password:"
send "$password\r"
expect "*\r"
send "$HOME/arcsout.sh\r"
expect "*\r"
send "exit\r"
expect eof

The script is exiting after running first line from arcsout.sh, it is because of send "exit\r" command.

So instead i want to send ctrl -c to the remote server through "send"

How this can be achieved.
