I amended my script as you proposed in above thread, now it looks so:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect --
set timeout 600
match_max 10000
stty -echo
log_user 0
spawn -noecho sudo -u introot /home/introot/bin/twssh [lindex $argv 0]
expect root
send_user "Entering [lindex $argv 0]\r"
send "uname\r"
log_user 1
expect "Linux" {send "for i in `df -lPh |sed s/\%// |sed '1d' |awk '{if (\$(NF-1) >= 88) print \$NF}'`; do echo \" \$i has `df -hlP \$i | tail -1 | awk '{print \$2, of space,\$(NF-1)}'` is full\" && find \$i -xdev -type f -size +10000k -exec stat -c\"%U %n %s\" {} \\; | sort -nrk 3 | head -40; done\r"
} "SunOS" {send "for i in `df -kl |sed s/\%// |sed '1d' |awk '{if (\$(NF-1) >= 88) print \$NF}'`; do echo \" \$i has `df -kl \$i | tail -1 | awk '{print \$2, of space,\$(NF-1)}'` is full\" && find \$i -xdev -type f -size +10000k -exec ls -l {} \\; | sort -nrk 5 | head -40; done\r"
}
send "exit\r"
set NewLineChar "\r"
expect {
    $NewLineChar { append dbscntl $expect_out(buffer); exp_continue}
    eof { append dbscntl $expect_out(buffer) }
}
puts $dbscntl

Like before, I see output just for second on Linux, then screen flushed and i see only "Connection to hostname.localnet closed."
In comparsion with earlier ouputs one empty line was added. So $dbscntl remains empty because "expect eof" never works for me

NAME

       largefile - large file status of utilities

DESCRIPTION

       A  large file is a regular file whose size is greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes). A small file is a regular file whose size is
       less than 2 Gbyte.

   Large file aware utilities
       A utility is called large file aware if it can process large files in the same manner as it does small files. A utility that is large  file
       aware is able to handle large files as input and generate as output large files that are being processed. The exception is where additional
       files  are used as system configuration files or support files that can augment the processing. For example, the file utility supports  the
       -m  option  for	an  alternative "magic" file and the -f option for a support file that can contain a list of file names. It is unspecified
       whether a utility that is large file aware will accept configuration or support files that are large files. If a large file  aware  utility
       does  not accept configuration or support files that are large files, it will cause no data loss or corruption upon encountering such files
       and will return an appropriate error.

       The following /usr/bin utilities are large file aware:

       adb	     awk	   bdiff	 cat	       chgrp
       chmod	     chown	   cksum	 cmp	       compress

       tem.

       chown	     from	   ln		 ls	       sed
       sum	     touch

       The /usr/bin/cpio and /usr/bin/pax utilities are large file aware, but cannot archive a file whose size exceeds 8 Gbyte - 1 byte.

       The /usr/bin/truss utilities has been modified to read a dump file and display information relevant to large files, such as offsets.

   Large file safe utilities
       A  utility  is called large file safe if it causes no data loss or corruption when it encounters a large file. A utility that is large file
       safe is unable to process properly a large file, but returns an appropriate error.
