do with ssh when you do "ssh hostname command". iow:
telnet somehost command
then it should, using expect (presumably), telnet into somehost,
prompt
me interactively for the username/password, and after successfully
logging in run the command specified on somehost.
The Wikipedia page for Expect uses this task as its first example:

Thanks, I had already seen that. The problem with the example is it
expects the username and password as variables that I'd have to give
on the command line which I'd rather not do.
Although, maybe I can be a bit kludgey and have a bash script prompt
for those and then feed them to expect, which seems a bit messy but I
suppose it'll work.
