I can't help with the expect script as I know no expect...

You are assuming that the last shell script is being executed. Let's assume that it is......
......then the __partial__ shell script that executes a python script needs uname to work.

Somewhere in this script you have a variable with the same name as the command - not a good idea - and you are assuming the variable '$uname' returns 'linux'. This may or may not be true in all linux flavour cases.

If it is not true then the python script will not be executed.

If it is true and the python script still does not execute then an error report will ensue.

It might br a good idea to capture this error report to a file and act upon it...

HTH.

NAME

       ipcheck - dyndns.org client

DESCRIPTION

       Usage  : ipcheck.py [options] Username Password Hostnames or	  ipcheck.py [options] --acctfile acct_info_file

       Options: -a address     manually specify the address

       -r URL NAT router, use web IP detection

       -A text
	      scan syslog for an IP after text (Unix only)

       -F filename
	      guess the WAN IP from a firewall log

       -b     backup mx option ON (default OFF)

       -c     custom dns option (default dynamic)

       -d dir directory for data files (default current)

       -e script
	      execute script after a successful update

       -f     force update regardless of current state

       -g     NAT router, let dyndns guess your IP (do not use this in a cronjob, try -r)

       -h     print this help text

       --help print all available help text

       -i interface
	      interface for local address (default ppp0)

       -j     disable https

       -l     log debugging text to ipcheck.log file

       --syslog
	      log debugging text to syslog (Unix only)

       -m mxhost
	      mx host (default NOCHG)

       -o     set dyndns offline mode

       -q     quiet mode (unless there is an error)

       -s     static dns option (default dynamic)

       -t     test run, do not send the update

       -v     verbose mode

       -w     wildcard mode ON (default OFF)

       --makedat
	      create the ipcheck.dat file by dns lookup

       --devices
	      print router options (Linksys, Netgear, etc)

       -n ip  the router IP address on the internal lan

       For  help  with different options: python ipcheck.py -h For supported devices listing  : python ipcheck.py --devices For long detailed help
       text    : python ipcheck.py --help

       Make sure you can write to the current directory for data files and that you always run from the same directory.  The first  time  you  run
       the  script,  you will be asked to run with the --makedat option in addition to any other options.  This will create the data files for the
       hostnames and options your specify on the command line.	You should only do this once.  Subsequent runs should be made without the  --make-
       dat option.

       For  help  with different options: python ipcheck.py -h For supported devices listing  : python ipcheck.py --devices For long detailed help
       text    : python ipcheck.py --help

       Example 1: the external IP is on eth0 of the current machine python ipcheck.py -l -i eth0 username password hostnames

       Example 2: you are using the Linksys routing device python ipcheck.py -l -L linksyspassword username password hostnames

       Example 3: you want to use web based ip detection python ipcheck.py -l -r checkip.dyndns.org:8245 ...

       where ... is your dyndns username password and hostnames.  Hostnames should be comma delimited if there are more than one.
