 > `expect`? Is that a command? What is it?

"expect" is an automation tool that allows for unattended interaction with terminal-based programs.  For example, you can set a loginUser and loginPassword, and when the output of the program displays "password:" it would throw the password.

It's pretty slick.  I've used it for EMC Cloning for database environments (SDLC type tiers) where I clone production database LUNs (volume groups) down tiers.

(and, this is an old thread, but who cares.)
