Automate Everything, Using Expect, Hak5 1023.1

This time on the show we're automating everything! Darren shows off intelligent scripting with expect for Linux. Then I'll be encrypting folders from a context menu in Gnome, pairing 'em with some cloud services and boom, you've got secure backups. Plus, multi-core GCC compiling, directory size scripting and can USB drives be trusted? All that and more this time on Hak5!

I recently found out about expect. I use it to automate daily reports that need to be ran. I thought no one used it anymore. I'd like to know what you think about saving your passwords in plan text though?
