So the script ran well, but didn't fetch me the expected o/p in the "config_details" file on the source server(My_NIM_Server), contents of this file below:

Code:
My_NIM_Server:msouvik:/export/home/msouvik>cat config_details
My_NIM_Client_1:
My_NIM_Client_2:

So essentially, what I understood is - the below portion of the script fails due to some reason:

Code:
# Load command output into variable output
set output $expect_out(1,string)

# Append output into (and host name) to local logfile
puts $config "$host: $output\r"

The $host variable is captured but not the $output. Leads again pls..
