Here’s part of an expect script
#/usr/bin/expect spawn -noecho kwalletcli -f Passwords -e keyofmypassword expect ".*" set passwd $expect_out(buffer) # do some thing # ...
It read password from kwalletcli, and store in variable passwd
. So I can connect to the servers with this passwd
.
However, the output of kwalletcli is pass through expect and show on console. How can I hide that.

Try adding
log_user 0
to your script. That should turn off the display to stdout.
If you want to turn it on again for the “do some thing” part of the program, re-enable it
log_user 1
