Short Descriptions

autoexpect generates an Expect script from watching a session.
autopasswd is a wrapper to make passwd(1) be non-interactive.
cryptdir encrypts all files in a directory.
decryptdir decrypts all files in a directory.
dislocate allows processes to be disconnected and reconnected to a terminal.
expect is a program that “talks” to other interactive programs according to a script.
ftp-rfc retrieves an RFC (or the index) from UUNET.
kibitz allows two (or more) people to interact with one shell (or any arbitrary program).
lpunlock unhangs a printer which claims it is “waiting for lock”.
mkpasswd generates passwords and can apply them automatically to users.
passmass changes a password on multiple machines.
rftp is much like ftp except it uses ~g and ~p instead of mget and mput.
rlogin-cwd is rlogin except it uses the local current directory as the current working directory on the remote machine.
timed-read reads a complete line from stdin and aborts after a given number of seconds.
timed-run runs a program for a given amount of time.
unbuffer disables the output buffering that occurs when program output is redirected.
weather retrieves a weather report (courtesy University of Michigan) for a given city or geographical area.
expectk is a combination of Expect with Tk and should run any wish or Expect script.
multixterm creates multiple xterms that can be driven together or separately.
tknewsbiff pops up a window when there is unread news in your favorite newsgroups and removes the window after you've read the news.
tkpasswd is a script to change passwords using expectk.
xkibitz allows users in separate xterms to share one shell (or any program that runs in an xterm).
xpstat is a script that acts as a front-end for xpilot.
libexpect5.43.{so,a} contains functions that allow Expect to be used as a Tcl extension or to be used directly from C or C++ (without Tcl).
