Can you try creating an empty STDIN file (something like /tmp/stdin.txt) on the
system where the expect script is running, and then add the STDIN option to the
PROCESS START request:
‘start shell command
“/usr/local

Thanks Paul, Nikunj and David for your replies,
So, I did add more debugging and investigation as you guys suggested and
added the export
figure out what is happening once expect script is running. (using STAF).
Thanks again,

So I got it as far as running the expect scrip byt adding
Export SHELL=/bin/bash
But when expect script runs, it hangs there and I think is not getting
the prompt for which the script's first line is waiting for.

Could it be that expect is not in the PATH that the STAF process's
environment has defined? I ran into this issue while testing and fixed it
by editing the /usr/local/staf/STAFEnv.sh to include my product's binary
directory in the PATH. It could be that expect is in the target machine's
login pro
Adding the mailing list to cc list, in case someone wants to correct
anything.

Is there any additional output if you add the RETURNSTDOUT and
RETURNSTDERR options on the PROCESS START request:
‘start shell command
“/usr/local/expect/expect-5.43/testsuite/expect.tests/expstart.sh”
RETURNSTDOUT STDERRTOSTDOUT WAIT’
