How exp_continue Affects spawn_id
Earlier I noted that the expect command decides which process to communicate with based on the value of spawn_id. The expect command checks the value of spawn_id at two times: when it starts and after every exp_continue command. This means that with an appropriate action in an expect command, you can change the currently spawned process while the expect command is running.
