A powerful feature of [Tcl] has always been its integration with the [Expect] [library] [http://expect.nist.gov].  As [Tcl] has been ported to the [Java] [platform] [http://tcljava.sourceforge.net/], certain [C]-based libraries have been left behind.  Expect4j is an attempt to rewrite [Expect] in [Java] and provide bindings to the [TclJava] [interpreter].  The goal is to be able to port existing [Tcl] code bases that use [Expect] directly to [Java] without changes.  The current version has successfully run a 10,000 line [Tcl] [script] which heavily depends on [Expect] for its operation.

[MAKR] (2009-02-24) added references to other [wiki] pages in above text. So far Expect4J lacks support for TTY/[PTY] handling. It is therefore not possible to drive the password prompts of `su`, `[ssh]`, or the like. For privileged operations, however, newer implementations of `[sudo]` could be used, as it is scriptable but has otherwise nothing to do with this topic.
