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:

    We cannot expect in the immediate future that all women who seek it will achieve full equality of opportunity. But if women are to start moving towards that goal, we must believe in ourselves or no one else will believe in us; we must match our aspirations with the competence, courage and determination to succeed.
    Rosalyn Yalow (b. 1921)

    Leontine: An only son, sir, might expect more indulgence.
    Croaker: An only father, sir, might expect more obedience.
    Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)

    But how can he expect that others should
    Build for him, sow for him, and at his call
    Love him, who for himself will take no heed at all?
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
