Hmm, not quite, the command "being returned" is simply the "echo" of the command coming back, this happens immediatly after you send it, it's like when you type in a telnet window, for every keystroke you send it sends one back to display in your console. This does NOT mean the command is finished, the command could very well be hanging. How long does the command take to run in a regular telnet window? The fact that the dump log ends there means that nothing is coming back through the telnet connection, not even a prompt, which tells me the command (for whatever reason) is not finished.

Example: I sent a sleep command to one of my machines this was the output of it and the chain of events: 
#Command I sent
my @lines = $th->cmd("sleep 10");

#dump_log output
#Matched a prompt
< 0x00000: 72 65 78 40  44 72 69 7a  7a 74 3e 20               rex@Dri
+zzt>

#command is sent
> 0x00000: 73 6c 65 65  70 20 31 30  0d 0a                     sleep 1
+0..

#command is immediatly echoed back
< 0x00000: 73 6c 65 65  70 20 31 30  0d 0a                     sleep 1
+0..

#10 second wait here and then prompt returns
< 0x00000: 72 65 78 40  44 72 69 7a  7a 74 3e 20               rex@Dri

Remember that dump_log is both input and output logs!

"Nothing is sure but death and taxes" I say combine the two and its death to all taxes!
