Food for thought:

1. Make sure what language you write your script
2. All of the script must be the same language
3. You can call other scripts (files) of other languages, if you really need multiple script languages

Bash, awk and expect are not compatible shebangs to mix the code, though, awk can be invoked as often you like when using bash.
However, you can use neither (afaik) bash nor awk from an expect script.
Aside from that, I dont see any awk invocation in your script at all anyway...

Are you aware that your variable 'FNAME' contains the hardcoded STRING 'command'?
And that you'r asking for an assword, rather than a password, several times?

Last but not least, have to admit i do not 'know' expect - AFAIK, isnt expect to be used so one does not have to pass passwords in plaintext to 'scripts'?
Yet you expect the user to pass his password to the script, which makes expect obsolete in some way.
Code:
...
CGCPASS=$3;export CGCPASS
...
LABPASS=$6;export LABPASS
...

Please correct me if i'm wrong on this!

Have a good day!
