Making expect.pm shut up

jcpunk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am working on a script to do some authentication but I need to get expect to not dump anything on the screen. example
[unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$ [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$ [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$ [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$ [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$ [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$ [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$
the front end is a web page an I have tried impementing HTML comments but that doesnt work exactly but its close

<!--<!--<!--<!--<!--<!--<!--<!--<!--<!--<!--<!--<!--<!--No value for $TERM and no -T specified No value for $TERM and no -T specified [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$>[unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$ [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$ [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$ [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$ [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$ [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$ [unixhelp@Jassys unixhelp]$

I would like to just make expect silent, but am looking for any option to stop its jabbering. I have already tried $exp->manual_stty(1); to no effect....

I'm pretty sure that you want to work with: $exp->log_stdout() It defaults to one for spawned commands. Try, `$exp->log_stdout(0)`. HTH, Chris	[reply] [d/l]
