Linux stdout redirection to file contains “@” and stops redirecting
Hello Experts,
I have a tcl/expect script that I am performing "log_user 1" to capture all the output from the script. I am performing the standard redirect and when I perform an exp_send comand with an "@" in the line, my stdout redirection stops. The tcl/expect script continues with no problem - but the output I am looking for is not there:
Software/Hardware used:
./expect_script.tcl >> stdout.log 2>> stdout.errinside the expect script where the stdout redirection stops:
exp_send -s "no snmp-server community 3x@mp!3 RO 88rThanks.
