I winced at this as I've only ever used expect for dirty hacks like wrapping ssh (or telnet to strange devices without real management). I wouldn't discount it though, it's a decent tool when heavier machinery isn't viab

I very much agree with this, especially the point on hubris. What I'm really looking for is advice on dealing on people in more senior positions that don't get this. Being mostly self-taught, I often feel like I don't have an
