console server and automated scripts

[rn4it]

We have a console server this allows us to ssh into the console server and then console into various network equipment or servers. I'm currently working on some scripts that will preform some basic checks for morning procedures. Here's we're the problem is, I can console into the routers and run the commands to generate the script. However, when I run the script it chokes right away. If I repeat the proces using telnet to the router I have no problem with the scripts. Has anyone encountered this issue?, the application that we're using is expect,tkl (tickel).

found it, it turned out to be a variable that had to be set, to force the script to pause for a fraction of a second to wait for the router to reply to the command.
