while [ 1 = 1 ]; do ps axf|grep minicom; done

21612 pts/1    S+     0:00  |       \_ minicom -d 1

This is the script currently:
- ---------------------snip-------------------
verbose on
sleep 5
timeout 30
expect {
        "eingeben" break
        timeout 10 goto panic
        }
send 000892
expect {
        "bitte" break
        timeout 10 goto panic
        }
send Suse
sleep 2
log 3
! rz -t 20
log 4
panic:
log 5
! /usr/bin/killall -9 minicom
log "Panic"
- ------------------------snip----------------

And this is the logfile of the last attempt:
20111026 16:37:27 CONNECT 38400 Labor fuer Praxis, 03954557088
20111026 16:37:35 3
20111026 16:37:46 Gone offline (0:00:14)

The "Gone offline" entry appears shortly after the rz has been started
(as the dial-in server has no files to present and hangs up) but rz stays.
Monitoring ps axf above you can see rz is started and after a while
runscript goes into "<defunct>" where it's not executed any more. So
it never reaches any item after the rz.


Any further clue?
