Try sendline(cmd2). Most cases you may never need to use send() with
pexpect.
Since you used send here, the command is not yet entered to the shell;
it's as though you typed the command and forgot to press enter.

Again try adding a wait using child.expect(prompt). This will ensure
'cmd2' completed and then you may want to clean up using a call to
child.close()

If things still don't work, try some simple commands like you are
doing with mkdir. Of course you want to first ensure you can manually
do all the steps that you are trying to automate with pexpect.
