Expect - Automation era
In this section I will be showing how to automate interactive sessions with "expect"
Beginning with a very simple example. Suppose you have a very simple script like this.
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
echo "Whats your name"
read name
echo "Hello $name"
Here is expect script "test.exp" to automate the above script
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
spawn ./test.sh
expect "Whats your name"
send "RAJA\r"
interact
$ expect test.exp
spawn ./test.sh
Whats your name
RAJA
Hello RAJA
Note:: I will be adding a detailed page for expect very soon here.
