Ok so like I stated in my last post I have it working but for some reason I get it to get beyond the apply stage due to the fact that the next prompt looks the same. Below is a copy of the session when I do this manually:

>> Main- /cfg/slb/real 144/ena
Current status: disabled
New status: enabled

>> Real server 144 - apply
------------------------------------------------------------------
Apply complete; don't forget to "save" updated
configuration.

>> Real server 144 - save
Request will first copy the FLASH "active" config to "backup",
then overlay FLASH "active" with new config.
Confirm saving to FLASH y/n: y
New config successfully saved to FLASH.

>> Real server 144 - exit


So as you can see after the apply at the >> Real server 144 - prompt next I should/want to send "save" but expect get's stuck on the "apply" and wont move on to the next case match so it's almost like the thing goes into a never ending loop. Does anyone know of a way to force it to move on??
