Re: [IUG] Installing Expect at a turnkey site

[Josh Stompro <stomproj at larl dot org>]

We use expect quite a bit and are also a turnkey site.  All the expect 
scripts that we use are run off of another system and interact with the 
III server via the innopac interface over ssh/telnet.   We have 
scheduled scripts on  one of our linux servers, and I run several just 
from my windows xp machine on demand (tape initialization).  I don't 
believe you need to have it installed on the III server unless you need 
to interact with system files directly, without going through an 
interface provided by III.
