Thanks for the responces to this question. I have gotten many many
responces from people who don't know what the real cause is so I
thought that I had better post a note explaining why I have a problem.
Originally, I said that I could get this line to work.
#!/tmp/.../expect -f
but not
#!/users/en-eecs/huangc/.../expect -f
The reason is simple. ULTRIX is screwed. It will not allow the use of
a line longer than 32 chars from beggining to end (including arguments)
and as you can see, that line is 37 chars long. This is apparently
a bug rooted in the kernel and there really is no good workaround
especially for "expect". In my case I believe I can pick up the
needed room if I move expect to ~huangc/exp which should give
me enough room for a couple flags too.
Oh, and I heard that some Sun OSs have this problem too.
Thanks for the help.
