Martin Matuska fd2305c76a Expect is a program that performs programmed dialogue with other
interactive programs. It is briefly described by its man page,
expect(1).

It uses pseudo-tty's to control the child processes, so it is not
affected by programs that refuse to read from stdin or pipes. (eg:
passwd(1) etc).

This is a development version from CVS code at SourceForge.
