10 Thanks for all your suggestions, as I basically wanted to create an icon
11 on the desktop to turn off the firewall/server, I went with expect. I
12 also discovered cygwin on my journeys so am very happy - I just have a
13 single script for all systems.
14 I didn't read the docs carefully enough, and didn't see that autoexpect
15 is just a script, so downloading from the expect site + gentoo expect
16 solved it for gentoo.
17 Cheers
