Application Notes Related to Expect Scripts
• *_login.exp scripts are special extension scripts that can be used to
change how service processors are accessed from using telnet to
another access method.
• Script templates are named talk_generic.exp and
talk_generic_ipmi.exp.
• An example custom script (for the unsupported RSA I type), is named
talk_rsa_I.exp.
•All other Expect scripts are used to handle tasks common to other
Expect scripts, such as providing local logging services or processing the
command templates.
