Expect script called in loop from Bash Script
Having issues with an expect script. I've been scripting bash, python, etc... for a couple years now, but just started to try and use Expect. Trying to create a script that takes in some arguments, and then for now, just runs a pwd command(for testing, final will be command I pass).

Here is the bash script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $# -eq 0 ]];then
        echo "USAGE: $0 <dirname> <servername1> <servername2> ..."
fi
dirVar="$1"
shift
mypassword=`cat /home/chris/sshPush/.pass`
for i in $*; do
        expect -d ./expect-pwd.exp $dirVar chris $i
done

Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set filename [lindex $argv 0]
set user [lindex $argv 1]
set server [lindex $argv 2]
set timeout -1
set exp_internal 1
spawn ssh $server

sleep 1
expect ^*/home/chris*
send "su - asa\r"

expect ^*sword:
send "password\r"

expect ^*$server*
#send -- "mkdir -p $filename\r"
send -- "pwd\r"
close


Here is the output I get from that:

Code:
expect: does "\r\n[YOU HAVE NEW MAIL]\r\n\u001b[?1034h[08:27:37]\u001b[1;34m\u0002asa@remoteHost\u001b[00m:\u001b[1;34m~\u001b[00m$" (spawn_id exp6) match glob pattern "^*remoteHost*"? yes

send: sending "pwd\r" to { exp6 }

It says it is sending the "pwd\r", but it never really does. I've also tried this with a mkdir and a touch command, not working. Almost like the connection is closing before it's able to send the command.
