Comment 6 for bug 190850

FYI,

I ended up hacking around this with the following Perl script. It uses expect to script an interactive amulecmd session. It's a hack but it should work until the package maintainers can fix the actual bug.

#!/usr/bin/perl
#
use strict;

use Expect;

# create an Expect object by spawning another process

my $cmd = "amulecmd -P=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";

my $exp = Expect->spawn("$cmd",())or die "Cannot spawn $cmd: $!\n";

# send some string there:
$exp->send("results\n");
$exp->send("download $ARGV[0]\n");
$exp->send("Quit\n");

$exp->soft_close();
$exp->hard_close();

exit 0;
