See the man page for "expect" , from the introduction: Expect is a program that "talks" to other interactive programs accord- ing to a script. Following the script, Expect knows what can be expected from a program and what the correct response should be. An interpreted language provides branching and high-level control struc- tures to direct the dialogue. In addition, the user can take control and interact directly when desired, afterward returning control to the script.
