Description-en: quick and easy command line automation tool
Written in expect, it is designed to directly map an interactive terminal
session into an automation script. expect-lite scripts use special
character(s) at the beginning of each line to indicate the action. Basic
expect-lite scripts can be created by simply cutting and pasting text from a
terminal window into a script, and adding '>' '<' characters. No knowledge of
expect is required!
