Info

28.18 Expect comes with several example scripts that demonstrate how you can do many things that are impossible with traditional shells. For example, the passmass script lets you update your password on many unrelated machines simultaneously. The rftp script provides your regular ftp client with additional commands to do recursive FTP in either direction. The cryptdir script encrypts all the files in a directory. And an amusing script is provided that lets two chess processes play each other. Expect has no limit to the number of interactive programs it can drive at the same time. The <strong>Unix</strong> system may limit Expect, though, by controlling the maximum number of processes or other system resources available. Testing: A Story Many people use Expect for testing. You can test interactive programs as easily as you can automate them. And hardware lends itself to testing with Expect, too. For example, we solved a thorny problem when we had to deal with an unreliable bank of modems. We were receiving dozens of calls each week reporting “the modem is hung.” No indication of which modem, of course. And it was always too late for us to ask the user to try something to investigate the problem. The connection was gone by then. Our solution was an Expect script that connected to each modem hourly and exercised it. Any problems were recorded so that we had a clear and full history of each modem’s behavior. As soon as a defective or hung modem was encountered, the Expect script would send email to the system administrator. With this script in place, reports of modem problems from our users dropped to zero. Other Problems These are just a few of the problems that can be solved with Expect. And as with all Expect solutions, recompilation of the original programs is unnecessary. You don’t even need the source code! Expect handles many other problems as well. For example, Expect can wrap existing interactive tools with GUI wrappers. This means you can wrap interactive programs with graphic frontends to control applications by buttons, scrollbars, and other graphic elements. And Expect scripts work great as CGI scripts or from cron (25.2) or inetd [the daemon that controls Internet services provided by a system—JP]. Finally, learning Expect may be easier than you think. Expect can watch you interact and then produce an Expect script for you. Interaction automation can’t get much easier than this!

Chapter 29 29 Custom Commands 29.1 Creating Custom Commands • In most shells, aliases are an easy way to shorten a long command line or do a short series of commands. Articles 29.2 through 29.10 cover C shell aliases. Articles 29.4 through 29.14 cover aliases in bash, pdksh, and zsh. • All except the oldest Bourne-type shells have shell functions (29.11), which are explained in Articles 29.11 through 29.13. These are a cross between aliases and shell scripts. They’re good both for shortening command lines and for running a short or long series of commands. —JP and SJC 29.2 Introduction to Shell Aliases All shells except the original Bourne shell have an “alias” facility that lets you define abbreviations for commands. The simplest C shell aliases, which are similar to the alias facility in newer Bourne-type shells, are simply a short name for a command and, often, command options or arguments too. The C shell’s aliases can get very complicated. Article 29.3 describes how a C shell alias can use arguments from its command line as it’s invoked. As we’ve said, aliases in Bourne-type shells (bash, zsh, and ksh) are simpler. Article 29.4 covers some of the differences between those shells and the C shells. Still, the ideas for custom C shell commands are useful in any kind of shell, and if you can’t write something in a simple Bourne-type alias, you almost certainly can do it in a shell function (29.11). You can define aliases from the command line, for use in just your current shell. Any aliases you define can also be placed in your shell setup file (3.3), so they’ll be available whenever you’re using your shell.
