Re^2: Expect and CSSH

@Slava: Thanks Much! Not a requirement, but we have re-written CSSH to our needs and was implementing a control panel of sorts to combine the two into one nice massive tool that works for our needs. I appreciate the tips and will review the alternatives, though this issue I have ran into is not a showstopper for my project, I was just curious if a Monk or the alike have ran into an similar situation and knew a neat workaround/trick. I have emailed the developer of CSSH to get his insight as well. . . Greatly Appreciate all the response on this issue!

UPDATE: Issue-Resolved. Just wanted to post an update as this may help someone down the road. My issue was that CSSH is using a <<paste>> event to send text to all servers - The paste event is using Selectget, which pulls from either the Primary X buffer or Clipboard, depending on which select=> is defined. So you must either select something or store it in either buffer for it to be sent. I created a few variables with the text needed, then used perls readline to prompt for password once, this is then stored and passed to all the servers on a sleep timer (to ensure the password prompt is hit) Thanks all for taking the time to review this issue..
