expect - interact hangs

  1. Default expect - interact hangs

    I posted an earlier message with regard to this - no response, so I'll minimize the question.

    After executing a series of send and expect commands, I return control to the user via interact.
    Shortly thereafter, the process hangs the user session, with a random number of bytes
    passing through the session, never the same amount.

    Is there some explicit setup that must be done prior to issuing interact?

  2. Default Re: expect - interact hangs

    There's no limit of which I am aware.

    Have you tried reducing your application until you narrow down what
    specific part of the code seems associated with the hanging situation?

    Is there any pattern to the actions the user is performing when the
    hanging occurs?
