hello: i'm doing something similar, and it works fine. i have a "standard"
shell script that cron runs called autoftp (it generates a file with my
dhcp assigned ip address and posts it to a web page) once the script is
done genreating the file, it calls the expect script:
#!/bin/bash
# insert commands here, if any
/path/to/your/expect-script
that should work fine... it's been running every hour for 3 days now w/o a
hitch
