Interact
Expect's interact command
Introduction
Expect's interact command is one of its little secrets. You might be used to it in the form of throwing the interaction with the spawned process back into the hands of the user but it can do much more.
This is the obvious case, lazy-ssh:
#! /usr/bin/expect
spawn ssh host
expect {
assword: {
exp_send $password
}
}
interact
in other words, we have the expect script respond with our password and then the interact command gives us, the user, control over the spawned ssh session.
