Thanks Kai!

Might be that the script detect it's not running interactively.
Since it's a shell script it should be possible to read the code and figure out what it does.

Hi Kai,

I got the same command working via ‘shell’ module & interact via - spawn/expect/send.

Though I am still wondering why pexpect doesn’t do the same when I can see that the script does get triggered from process logs.
