Description
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This program is no longer maintained upstream, with a last release in 2018 and the most recent maintainer ticket action in 2020.
