Hi.

Here is an expect script that connects and then checks for a file t2. Perhaps this will help until someone more knowledgeable stops by:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect --

# @(#) e4       Demonstrate running commands on remote computer with expect.

# Identify local computer, version of expect.
puts " Local computer is [eval exec uname -n]"
puts " Version of expect is [exp_version]."
puts ""
# Read login-name, computer-name, password from file.
set file "data1"
if { ! [file exists $file] } {
  puts " File $file not found -- exiting."
  exit 1
}
set input [open $file "r"]
set line [gets $input]
set list [split $line]
set login [lindex $list 0]
set box [lindex $list 1]
set password [lindex $list 2]
puts " login is $login, intended remote computer is $box"
set timeout 10
send_user " spawning: ssh $login@$box\n"
spawn ssh $login@$box
expect \[pP]assword:*
send "$password\r"
# send_user "(Got string Password*, sent password $password.)\n"
expect *$box*
# send "ls\r"
send {
bash <<EOF
echo " Hi from a here document on computer $(uname -n)."
if [ ! -f t2 ]
then
  echo " There is no file t2, creating it."
  touch t2
else
  echo " File t2 exists, using it."
fi
ls -l t2
rm t2
EOF
}
expect *$box*
send "exit\r"
expect "logout*"

Producing:
Code:
% ./e4
 Local computer is leap
 Version of expect is 5.42.1.

 login is vanilla, intended remote computer is vm-lenny
 spawning: ssh vanilla@vm-lenny
spawn ssh vanilla@vm-lenny
vanilla@vm-lenny's password:
Linux vm-lenny 2.6.26-2-686 #1 SMP Thu Mar 26 01:08:11 UTC 2009 i686

 Hi from a here document on computer vm-lenny.
 There is no file t2, creating it.
-rw-r--r-- 1 vanilla vanilla 0 2009-04-23 10:13 t2

logout
