I'm not even questioning how to send the password, log in, etc... My question is about error handling with expect. The other parts of the script are already working.

I'm interested in expects ability to see a prompt and send certain text back as a response, and when a prompt is received that is different than what is expected how to handle that.

It's so difficult for a reason -- ssh is designed to prevent it, because it's almost impossible to keep unencoded passwords secure, and because allowing them would be just the avenue hackers need to bruteforce your own system or use your system as a platform to bruteforce others.

Google 'passwordless ssh' to find the proper way to do this with keys, there's hundreds of tutorials all over the internet.
