I want to set up a tunnel to a remote system and have it all happen in the
background. I need to use password etc. This works, but not in the bg

#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn ssh -x -p 23 -L 25:localhost:25 -L 143:localhost:143 me@host.com
expect {
assword: { send mypw\n; interact }

what do I need to do?

TIA
