Re: [tcljava-user] Expect support

[D. J. H. <dha...@mi...>]

You definitely would not be able to use the full power of expect from
jacl, since that extension does some fairly low-level plumbing with Unix
PTY's, forking, and process control.

For telnet, you may be able to make socket connections and use a
simplified version of expect -- I think I remember seeing some examples
on the http://wiki.tcl.tk site.  SSH would be harder because you would
need to either write your own channel implementation using a pure-Java
ssh implementation (like jsch) or do your own tricks with Runtime.exec
and piped Input/Output streams and threads.

Hope this helps,
