I was reading the recent discussion about sftp with an Expect script. And, this is a common thing -- I talk to people using Expect on IBM i on a regular basis.

It occurs to me that the Expect tool would, therefore, be a perfect candidate for a package to provide via YUM.

So, I thought I'd mention it. Maybe the IBMers like Kevin Adler and/or Jesse would be interested in the suggestion.
