<h2>What is being said about expect-lite?<!-- Intro -->
</h2>
<h3>From 2008:</h3>
<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Linux.com Review</span><br>
<br>
Expect is a venerable tool for scripting interactive command-line
tools. One normally sees expect coupled with the TCL programming
language -- for example, in the DejaGNU test environment. Expect-lite
is a wrapper for expect designed to allow you to capture an interactive
session more directly mapped into a script. The expect-lite language
also includes simple conditionals and other programming language
elements, and can be readily mixed with bash programming. [<a href="http://archive09.linux.com/feature/128384">more</a>]<br>

Developer Craig Miller created expect-lite after leaving a job where he
worked with a proprietary automation language. "I wanted to use a more
standardized language like Expect, but it uses just too many curly
braces, and it is easy to create cryptic code, which is hard to debug.
I wanted to create a simple language that focused on getting the job
done, rather than making users spend hours learning and debugging.
Expect seemed like a good place to start. [<a href="http://schlesinger.us/blog/2010/07/23/expect-great-script-automation-from-expect-lite/">more</a>]<br>

I’ve recently been playing around with expect-lite, a wrapper for
expect that allows you to automatically login to hosts with telnet or
ssh to run commands on remote hosts without getting too much under the
bonnet of expect syntax. [<a href="http://www.craigdunn.org/2010/07/remote-control-with-expect-lite/">more</a>]<br>

When we want to write scripts that automatically perform a task such as
connecting to a server and write the password without requiring us to
be ahead, we often resort to use " expect ". But using a priori
expect is not as simple and requires some knowledge, to facilitate our
work, we can now also expect-lite. <br>
<br>
expect-lite is a simple automation tool. Written in expect, this
deiseñada to map directly interactive terminal session in a script
automation. Basically automation scripts can be created by
cutting and pasting text from one terminal and adding the characters
">" to what we send and "<" to what we expect. So expect no
knowledge is required.

<br>
Unfortunately, most network equipment does not have any API for remote
management, and if so, often writing for a client to send multiple
commands did not justify the effort. <br>
<br>
Fortunately, there has long been a tool to automate such tasks called
expect. And there is a more convenient wrapper to him under the name
expect-lite, which we are reviewing today. For example, we write
a script that will start the switch ports you want us to VLAN.

I need to update more than 2000 Redhat servers' resolv.conf file<br>
expect is a good tool to achieve this, but expect-lite is cooler :) [<a href="http://andyhan.linuxdict.com/index.php/component/k2/item/150-expect-lite-very-useful-automation-tool">more</a>]<br>

The developers responsible for expect-lite, a wrapper for the Unix
Expect tool, just released version 4.6.0 of their software. Among the
new features include the inclusion of the foreach loop, and adding
functions of type string-math. The location of the configuration of SSH
login was also moved from the tool settings for the own configuration
file in the SSH client... [<a href="https://under-linux.org/content.php?r=6650-Expect-lite-4-6-0-Introduz-Loops-foreach">Original in Calician</a>]<br>
