How to use expect: 2-Minute Linux Tips

The video tutorial introduces a tool for automating interactions with scripts using predefined answers. It provides a simple example of a script that asks a question and another script that automates the response. The tutorial demonstrates how to create and run an expect script, highlighting its potential for real-world applications where scripts may ask multiple questions and perform complex tasks. The flexibility of using multiple expect and send lines is emphasized, and a brief mention of 'auto expect' is made for further exploration.

• By ignoring additional questions

• By running each question separately

What additional feature is mentioned that will be covered in another video?

• Script encryption
