Chubler_XL, thank you for the guidance.

I have previously tried something like that, and was still unable to set the variable. I am not sure where you place following.

Code:
puts stderr "ACCESS denied validation UNSUCCESSFUL"
puts -nonewline "FAILED"

was this on the parent bash script or the child expect script?

I have had similar result. I can print variable with the child, however the parent variable is blank.

here is what i have so far.

Code:
	#!/bin/bash
#script for email validation
emaillist=emaillist1.txt
#emaillist=client.csv
SMTPport=25

clear
echo "---------------------------------------------------------------------"
echo "Now performing email validations.......... Please be patient."
echo "---------------------------------------------------------------------"
echo ""
echo ""

header="%-20s %-20s %-10s %-20s %10s\n"
body="%-20s %-20s %-10s %-20s %10s\n"


printf "$header" "E-mail" "Domain" "F-Name" "L-Name" "Status"
printf "$header" "_______________" "____________________" "__________" "____________________" "____________________"


while read line; do
	userinfo=$(echo $line | sed 's/@/,/')
	IFS=',' read -a address <<< "$userinfo"
	userid="${address[0]}"
	domain="${address[1]}"
	fname="${address[2]}"
	lname="${address[3]}"
	#status=vvv
	SMTPlist=$(host $domain | grep "handled by" | awk '{print $7}' | sed 's/\.$//' )
	address=("${address[@]}" $SMTPlist)
	
	status=$(/usr/bin/expect << EOF
	#exp_internal 1
	set timeout 1
	#set echo on
	log_user 0
	
	spawn telnet ${address[4]} $SMTPport
	expect "220"

	send "helo $domain\r"
	expect "service"

	send "mail from: <mickeymouse@disney.com>\r"
	expect "250"

	send "rcpt to: <$userid@$domain>\r"
	expect {
		"250" 	{
				set status $expect_out(buffer)
				puts -nonewline "$status"
				puts stderr "validation SUCCESSFUL"
				puts -nonewline "SUCCESS"
				}
		"230" {send_user "ACCESS denied validation UNSUCCESSFUL\n"}
		"550" {send_user "$userid@$domain validation UNSUCCESSFUL\n"}		
		"553" {send_user "Requested action nottaken validation UNSUCCESSFUL\n"}		
	}
	
	send "quit"
	expect "closed"
EOF
)

echo "status is ------ $status"
printf "$body" "$userid" "$domain" "$fname" "$lname" "$status"
 done < $emaillist

However the Parent variable is still blank.

again. thanks for the assistance.

OCF_HEARTBEAT_XINETD(7) 					OCF resource agents					   OCF_HEARTBEAT_XINETD(7)

NAME

       ocf_heartbeat_Xinetd - Manages an Xinetd service

SYNOPSIS

       Xinetd [start | stop | restart | status | monitor | validate-all | meta-data]

DESCRIPTION

       Resource script for Xinetd. It starts/stops services managed by xinetd. Note that the xinetd daemon itself must be running: we are not
       going to start it or stop it ourselves. Important: in case the services managed by the cluster are the only ones enabled, you should
       specify the -stayalive option for xinetd or it will exit on Heartbeat stop. Alternatively, you may enable some internal service such as
       echo.

SUPPORTED PARAMETERS

       service
	   The service name managed by xinetd. (required, string, no default)

SUPPORTED ACTIONS

       This resource agent supports the following actions (operations):

       start
	   Starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.

       stop
	   Stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.

       restart
	   Suggested minimum timeout: 20s.

       status
	   Performs a status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 10. Suggested interval: 10.

       monitor
	   Performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 10. Suggested interval: 10.

       validate-all
	   Performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 5.

       meta-data
	   Retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). Suggested minimum timeout: 5.

EXAMPLE

       The following is an example configuration for a Xinetd resource using the crm(8) shell:

	   primitive example_Xinetd ocf:heartbeat:Xinetd 
	     params 
	       service=string 
	     op monitor depth="0" timeout="10" interval="10"
