Expect

Expect

Expect is a Unix automation and testing tool, written by Don Libes as an extension to the Tcl scripting language, for interactive applications such as telnet, ftp, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, ssh, and others. It uses Unix pseudo terminals to wrap up subprocesses transparently, allowing the automation of arbitrary applications that are accessed over a terminal. With Tk, interactive applications can be wrapped in GUIs.

Famous quotes containing the word expect:

    Why not a space flower? Why do we always expect metal ships?
    W.D. Richter (b. 1945)

    They are a very decent generous lot of people out here and they don’t expect you to listen.... It’s the secret of social ease in this country. They talk entirely for their own pleasure. Nothing they say is designed to be heard.
    Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

    Dear friend,
    please do not think
    that I visualize guitars playing
    or my father arching his bone.
    I do not even expect my mother’s mouth.
    I know that I have died before....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
