in order to intercept errors during the connection stage in expect, I generally use a "default" behaviour that makes expect to exit with a custom error code, like in the code fragment shown below:
in particular note the instruction
and
where $ec_exception and $ec_failedauth are variables declared and set with a value other than 0 in advance.
Note that in the previous example the "default" behaviour actually has the meaning of an exception handling (that is, I define actions for known expected results, all unforesees results are managed based on the default behaviour).
Then the calling script may check, at each iteration, the exit code returned by the expect script, like this:
Note that using different exit codes for different exceptions caught in expect may also be useful to determine what action the calling script should do next.
