Hi Navin:

I need some clarification here. Are you referring to a application available to download from HP-UX share ware called 'expect'?

-or-

Are you discussing an option in swlist that I've never heard of, and that you may have seen in another O/S like Linux or Solaris?

expect as in http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Tcl/expect-5.43

If it was not installed as an SD package using swinstall then it will not be a registered application listed in the IPD.

If expect is installed from depot file and registered in IPD, you can view more details with -v option.

swlist -v expect

Hi Navin:

SOftare is only visable to the SD tools (like 'swlist') if it is installed by 'swinstall'.

If you are looking for the version number of the 'expect' scripting software then you can do an 'expect -v'.

If you are looking for something else, then please elaborate.

Ok, try this:

what /stand/vmunix | grep -i expect

To see if its loaded in the kernel.

Else, check /usr/local/bin and search the README doc.
