Well yes you are missing something mainly because I have not stated it yet. On some of the commands the node returns text (somewhat of a status report or verbose mode if you will) of what is going on. The script sees this as a valid returned status and continues with the next command although the response sent from the node is not a command prompt (meaning it is ready for another command).

And in some cases no it does not even wait for a command prompt when no input is being sent back to the screen. For instance when I telnet in ( running OS is VXWorks ) and issue a command to oh say copy a file from one directory to another this command takes a while to execute. If I have 2 or 3 commands in a row in the script after the first copy command is issued and the system is in the process of copying the file the script sends the next command before the node is done processing the first command therefore the following commands are ignored and never accomplished.

Does that make a little more since? I know it is a bit confusing but I really cannot explain better without posting the code and the output from the node.
