Since the actual install would take around 4-5hrs,is the below while loop is advisable for long running installations?
are there any better way of implementing it , to avoid the loop expects matching for all commands everytime.


Code:
spawn ./Inst.sh
expect "\r\npath? (Y/N) "
send "Y\r"
send "\r\n$DIR1: "
expect "\r\npath? (Y/N) "
send "Y\r"
expect "\r\n\r\nfolder path2 : "
send "$DIR2\r"
while {1)
{
expect 
-exact "no space" {exit 1}
-exact "not latest" {exit 1}
-re {-{10}\r\nlicense-+\(y\/n\) : } send "Y\r"
-exact "\r\n\r\nfolder path2 : "send "$DIR2\r"
eof {break}
}

NAME

       qmail-control - qmail configuration files

INTRODUCTION

       You can change the behavior of the qmail system by modifying qmail's control files in /var/lib/qmail/control.

       qmail  can  survive  with  just	one  control  file, me, containing the fully-qualified name of the current host.  This file is used as the
       default for other hostname-related control files.

       Comments are allowed in badmailfrom, locals, percenthack, qmqpservers, rcpthosts, smtproutes, and virtualdomains.  Trailing spaces and tabs
       are allowed in any control file.

       The following table lists all control files other than me.  See the corresponding man pages for further details.
