-This directory contains scripts that give examples of using Pexpect.
-
-hive.py
-    This script creates SSH connections to a list of hosts that
-    you provide. Then you are given a command line prompt. Each
-    shell command that you enter is sent to all the hosts. The
-    response from each host is collected and printed. For example,
-    you could connect to a dozen different machines and reboot
-    them all at once.
-
-script.py
-    This implements a command similar to the classic BSD "script" command.
-    This will start a subshell and log all input and output to a file.
-    This demonstrates the interact() method of Pexpect.
-
-fix_cvs_files.py
-    This is for cleaning up binary files improperly added to
-    CVS. This script scans the given path to find binary files;
-    checks with CVS to see if the sticky options are set to -kb;
-    finally if sticky options are not -kb then uses 'cvs admin'
-    to set the -kb option. 
-
-ftp.py
-    This demonstrates an FTP "bookmark".
-    This connects to an ftp site; does a few ftp commands; and then gives the user
-    interactive control over the session. In this case the "bookmark" is to a
-    directory on the OpenBSD ftp server. It puts you in the i386 packages
-    directory. You can easily modify this for other sites.
-    This demonstrates the interact() method of Pexpect.
-
-monitor.py
-    This runs a sequence of system status commands on a remote host using SSH.
-    It runs a simple system checks such as uptime and free to monitor
-    the state of the remote host.
-
-passmass.py
-    This will login to a list of hosts and change the password of the
-    given user. This demonstrates scripting logins; although, you could
-    more easily do this using the pxssh subclass of Pexpect.
-    See also the "hive.py" example script for a more general example
-    of scripting a collection of servers.
-
-python.py
-    This starts the python interpreter and prints the greeting message backwards.
-    It then gives the user interactive control of Python. It's pretty useless!
-
-rippy.py
-    This is a wizard for mencoder. It greatly simplifies the process of
-    ripping a DVD to mpeg4 format (XviD, DivX). It can transcode from any
-    video file to another. It has options for resampling the audio stream;
-    removing interlace artifacts, fitting to a target file size, etc.
-    There are lots of options, but the process is simple and easy to use.
-
-sshls.py
-    This lists a directory on a remote machine.
-
-ssh_tunnel.py
-    This starts an SSH tunnel to a remote machine. It monitors the connection
-    and restarts the tunnel if it goes down.
-
-uptime.py
-    This will run the uptime command and parse the output into python variables.
-    This demonstrates using a single regular expression to match the output
-    of a command and capturing different variable in match groups.
-    The regular expression takes into account a wide variety of different
-    formats for uptime output.
-
-df.py
-    This collects filesystem capacity info using the 'df' command.
-    Tuples of filesystem name and percentage are stored in a list.
-    A simple report is printed. Filesystems over 95% capacity are highlighted.
