Empty - an expectlike tool to run command-line interactive programs in
|
||
|
|
UNIX shell-scripts
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
empty is an utility that provides an interface to execute and/or interact
|
||
|
|
with processes under pseudo-terminal sessions (PTYs). It can be used to
|
||
|
|
automate otherwise interactive programs like telnet, ssh, and ftp. In
|
||
|
|
some cases empty can be the simplest replacement for TCL/expect or other
|
||
|
|
(similar) programming tools.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Somewhat similar in functionality also to POTS modem chat(8) or the
|
||
|
|
scripting capabilities of minicom(1) however its small and general
|
||
|
|
purpose.
