I'm trying to write an expect script that will log on to a proprietary online service, follow some menus, and upload a file using zmodem. The zmodem package I'm trying to use is lrzsz, in a script that looks like: #!/usr/local/bin/expect -f spawn cu -l /dev/cuaa0 -s 57600 dir expect Connected send atdt9,9995551234 expect CONNECT send ... expect ... ... expect "> " send "upload\r" expect "rz ready" exec /usr/local/bin/lsz /path/to/file && mv /path/to/file /path/to/done/ expect "> " send "bye\r" expect eof (Okay, there's alot more glue than that, but you get the idea.) It all works fine up to the point that I want to run lsz. The problem is that lsz wants to talk zmodem through stdio rather than on an arbitrary port (/dev/cuaa0 in this case), and expect is just execing it rather than spawning and joining it to my existing "cu" session. The lsz manpage says I can set ONAME to the device I want to use, but doing so doesn't appear to change lsz's behaviour inside expect (or I'm still missing something, which is more likely). How do people deal with this sort of thing? Is there a solution that lets me stick with lsz rather than moving to (commercially licensed) zmtx with its -l option?
