Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, I am writing to ask for help with a small Expect problem. I have a logging application that would with Expect 5.19/tcl 7.2 and FreeBSD 2.1.0, happily disconnect from the controlling tty and log call complete/call clear messages from an X25 switch to a file. The application forks to create the monitoring child and then the parent exits. Unfortunately when the parent exits so does the child. The program was working after fetching & making Expect 5.19 and tcl 7.2. With newer FreeBSDs I have used the packages and it hasn't worked. The host has always had FreeBSD upgraded rather than re-installed I will be very grateful for any suggestions, Yours sincerely.
