Execute Linux script (expect) within Matlab with system()

Matlab R2015a

Hello,

In order to programmatically ssh connect I made an expect script as explained in

ssh connect and commands programmatically

  #!/usr/bin/expect
  set login "any_user"
  set addr "some_address"
  set pw "any_pwd"

  spawn ssh -t $login@$addr
  expect "$login@$addr\'s password:"
  send "$pw\r"
  expect "~" ; # put here string from your server prompt
  send "mkdir some_dir\r"
  interact

I called this script LoginSSH.sh (of course, with my own data), then I run this command in the Linux console without problems:

./LoginSSH.sh

The idea was to run this command from Matlab with system():

  scmd='./LoginSSH.sh'

  [status,cmdout]=system(scmd)

But for some reason Matlab has some problems to execute the script via system(). This is the output:

status =

     1  

cmdout = 



 OpenSSL version mismatch. Built against 100020af, you have 1000107f

  send: spawn id exp4 not open
      while executing
  "send "$pw\r""
      (file "./LoginSSH.sh" line 8)

I can even run the command in Python:

  import os
  from subprocess import call
  call(["./LoginSSH.sh"])

again, without any problems.

What could be the reason Matlab won't like to run the shell script?

Thanks in advance.
