a script to login a user an execute commands?

[Marc-Olivier BERNARD]

Hi there,


I need to create a small script to execute as root, which logs in as
standard user, and execute some commands.

Is there another way to do but use Expect.pm?

Thanks,

Define "logs in". What are you using to 'log in' - telnet, ssh, ??

Yes. Many modules are available. It all depends on what you're
trying to do.

Some code would be helpful

Assuming you use linux, why don't you just use the linux 'expect' command.
