In this expect script there will be no ssh server connected, I just want to execute a ".sh" file locally, is that possible?
For instance:
#!/bin/expect
command "xxx.sh" # a command which starts a certain shell script
Also, is it possible to execute a expect script within a expect script?
For instance:
#!/bin/expect
command "xxx.exp" # a command which starts a certain expect script
Any help?

The first line defines the expect command path which is #!/usr/bin/expect . On the second line of code, we disable the timeout. Then start our script using spawn command. We can use spawn to run any program we want or any other interactive script.
Arguments can be passed to the script when it is executed, by writing them as a space-delimited list following the script file name. Inside the script, the $1 variable references the first argument in the command line, $2 the second argument and so forth. The variable $0 references to the current script.
If you need to interact with this script, use spawn xxx.sh
If you just need to run it and capture the output, use set output [exec xxx.sh]
Expect is an extension of the Tcl language, so you would be well served to go through the Tcl tutorial.
