Try to replace cd with \cd or chdir
And then, shouldn't there be another expect for each $ prompt?

Newbie here. My goal is to have the expect script log into the Ubuntu 18.04 server and run two commands (lsb_release -a and ip addr) and eventually pipe the output/results to a file. For now, I would be happy to get this one command or two to run successfully. How to fix this?

chdir(2) System Calls chdir(2)
NAME
chdir, fchdir - change working directory
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
int chdir(const char *path);
int fchdir(int fildes);
DESCRIPTION
The chdir() and fchdir() functions cause a directory pointed to by path or fildes to become the current working directory. The starting
point for path searches for path names not beginning with / (slash). The path argument points to the path name of a directory. The fildes
argument is an open file descriptor of a directory.
For a directory to become the current directory, a process must have execute (search) access to the directory.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned, the current working directory is unchanged, and errno is set to indi-
cate the error.
ERRORS
The chdir() function will fail if:
EACCES Search permission is denied for any component of the path name.
EFAULT The path argument points to an illegal address.
EINTR A signal was caught during the execution of the chdir() function.
EIO An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
ELOOP Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating path.
ENAMETOOLONG The length of the path argument exceeds PATH_MAX, or the length of a path component exceeds NAME_MAX while
_POSIX_NO_TRUNC is in effect.
ENOENT Either a component of the path prefix or the directory named by path does not exist or is a null pathname.
ENOLINK The path argument points to a remote machine and the link to that machine is no longer active.
ENOTDIR A component of the path name is not a directory.
The fchdir() function will fail if:
EACCES Search permission is denied for fildes.
EBADF The fildes argument is not an open file descriptor.
EINTR A signal was caught during the execution of the fchdir() function.
EIO An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to the file system.
ENOLINK The fildes argument points to a remote machine and the link to that machine is no longer active.
ENOTDIR The open file descriptor fildes does not refer to a directory.
