I am able to connect to 'y' device easily...but it won't connect to 'x' device for some reason...it says "timeout expired!" even though the passwords and everthing else is been set in .cloginrc file.  Can anyone help me with this?

because the script expect to talk to the top-level CLI and has no knowledge
of commands requiring/accepting & prompting for additional values.

eg:         < prompt
    command > 
            < output
            < prompt
    exit    > 
            < eof
