Dear all

I'm trying to add some interactivity to a shell (bash) script. It
currently accepts an IP as a command line parameter, and does some
automated tests on the host.

What I want to add, is the ability to have small chats with the host.
For instance, if port 23 is found to be open, I want the script to
telnet to the host, wait for the prompt, and then hang up, recording
any data received in the process.

This expect script chats successfully, when invoked from the command
line:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set force_conservative 0
set IP $env(IP)
spawn $env(SHELL)
send "telnet $IP\r"
expect "login: "
send "^]"
expect "telnet> "
send "q\r"
expect "Connection closed.\r"
send "^D"
expect eof

Now, how is it possible to call this from within the shell script, 
record (with script $IP.txt) everything that happens, then stop 
recording once the expect chat is over, and pass control back to the 
shell script? (try saying that in one breath)

Any pointers/suggestions would be appreciated!
