  Expect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Expect is a Unix automation and testing tool, written by Don Libes, for interactive applications such as telnet, ftp, passwd, fsck, rlogin, tip, ssh, and others.
Expect has regular expression pattern matching and general program capabilities, allowing simple scripts to intelligently control programs such as telnet, ftp, and ssh, all of which lack a programming language, macros, or any other program mechanism.
Expect can be run at regular intervals through the use of cron to encapsulate system administration tasks.

 expect
Expect is a program that "talks" to other interactive programs accord- ing to a script.
With and, Expect does not have a chance to read the terminal’s parameters since the terminal is already disconnected by the time Expect receives control.
If Expect then passes that to a program which sets its terminal to raw mode (like telnet), there is going to be a problem, as the program expects a true return.

 expect. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
expect, anticipate, hope, await These verbs relate to the idea of looking ahead to something in the future.
To expect is to look forward to the likely occurrence or appearance of someone or something: “We should not expect something for nothing—but we all do and call it Hope” (Edgar W. Howe).
Anticipate sometimes refers to taking advance action, as to forestall or prevent the occurrence of something expected or to meet a wish or request before it is articulated: anticipated the attack and locked the gates.

The Expect module is a successor of Comm.pl and a descendent of Chat.pl. It more closely ressembles the Tcl Expect language than its predecessors.
If called in a scalar context, expect() will return the position of the matched pattern within $match_patterns, or undef if no pattern was matched.
Expect will tell you very verbosely what it is receiving and sending, what matching it is trying and what it found.

 Ouch, Those Programs Are Painful!
Expect can also be used to automate only parts of a dialogue, since control can be passed from the script to the keyboard and vice versa.
Expect programs can be written in C or C++, but are almost always written using Tcl (pronounced "tickle," or, if you're uncomfortable using this particular word in a formal setting, "tee cee ell.") Tcl is an interpreted language that is widely used in many other applications.
Expect is named after the specific command which waits for output from a program.

Expect is free and in the public domain.
Expect is a "well-behaved extension" in the sense that it requires no changes to the Tcl core.
Expect uses its default of 10 seconds, meaning that it stops waiting after 10 seconds and resends the password (presuming you are looping to send the password as long as /bin/passwd keeps asking).

Expect, a n extension of the simple yet powerful Tool Command Language (Tcl), is a latecomer to the Unix toolkit.
Expect has the unique capability of "chatting" to otherwise impossible programs and can smoothly juggle input and output to many places at once.
Expect works around this problem by using a pseudoterminal (which is often known as a pty) when it communicates with other programs.

 Pexpect - a Pure Python Expect-like module
Previously you could either expect these states in which case pexpect will not raise an exception, or you could just let pexpect raise an exception when these states were encountered.
If you expected the states then the 'before' property was set to everything before the state was encountered, but if you let pexpect raise the exception then 'before' was not set.
Expecting for a TIMEOUT may not be used as often as EOF, but this makes Pexpect more consitent.

 BLAST search main parameters
The statistical significance threshold for reporting matches against database sequences; the default value is 10, such that 10 matches are expected to be found merely by chance, according to the stochastic model of Karlin and Altschul (1990).
If the statistical significance ascribed to a match is greater than the EXPECT threshold, the match will not be reported.
Furthermore, in some cases, sequences are masked in their entirety, indicating that the statistical significance of any matches reported against the unfiltered query sequence should be suspect.
