how to debug an expect script running on a tomcat server

Hello everyone,

I have a small expect script as follows;

Code:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set force_conservative 0  ;# set to 1 to force conservative mode even if
              ;# script wasn't run conservatively originally
if {$force_conservative} {
    set send_slow {1 .1}
    proc send {ignore arg} {
        sleep .1
        exp_send -s -- $arg
    }
}
set timeout -1
spawn /bin/bash
match_max 100000
send -- "su randeel\r"
expect -exact "su randeel\r
Password: "
send -- "some password\r"
expect "randeel@"
send -- "wine cmd /c wscript Z:\\\\tmp\\\\tomcat6-temp\\\\3fe21de5ca0fe5fb.vbs"
expect -exact "wine cmd /c wscript Z:\\\\tmp\\\\tomcat6-temp\\\\3fe21de5ca0fe5fb.vbs"
send -- "\r"
expect "IRemUnknown_RemRelease"
expect "IRemUnknown_RemRelease"
expect "IRemUnknown_RemRelease"
send -- "\r"
exit
expect eof

when i run this script as another user the above works great!!
But when i invoke the above script from tomcat server(using a java programme to execute the script) as user "tomcat6"
the script doesn't execute fully. How can i debug this issue?
when i issue the command ps -ef;
I see that tomcat6 user has called the script and the process is running.
i also see the bash command also invoked, also i see "su randeel" command also being running.
But i don't know how to debug this issue. I am new to expect,ubuntu.
Any kind of help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Randeel.

installsieve

INSTALLSIEVE(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   INSTALLSIEVE(1)

 *

NAME

       installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       installsieve

DESCRIPTION

       installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server.

OPTIONS

       -v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output.

       -l  List  all  of  the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active
       script.

       -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services.

       -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten.  Upon  sucessfully
       putting	the  script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since
       sieve names may not contain a '.'.

       -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option..

       -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>.

       -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen.

       -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already  exists  it	is
       overwritten.

       -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user.
