[macosx-unix] expect trouble

[Jesse Callaway]

Hey all,

I've never really played around with expect, so I'm not sure if it's
problems with the osx pty and expect, or just me. Anyway I'm trying to
run a bunch of scripts while typing in my password only once. Some say
an agent would best serve me, but I just want to learn to use expect
properly anyway.

Here's my script:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

send_user "RSA key passphrase: "
stty -echo
expect_user -re "(.*)\n" {set PASS $expect_out(1,string)}
send_user "\n"
stty echo
spawn rsync -aqz jesse at server.com:/etc /Users/jesse/Documents/Server\
Backups\ and\ Configs/server.com/
expect "id_rsa': "
send_user "\n"
send "$PASS\r"

When I run the script I get the prompt to enter the passphrase, then
it spawns the rsync job. I can see rsync and ssh spawn in top. Then I
see a prompt on my terminal to "Enter passphrase for key
'/Users/jesse/.ssh/id_rsa':"  And everything quits immediately.

Do I need to be looking at stderr? Should I try yax? Should I try one
of python or perl expect modules?
