[ale] How to get Unix to KickOff an NT Process

[cfowler]

I would say expect would be good for ssh or telnet to the remote. 
Expect was developed to turn interactive programs into scripts.  And
other things too.  I use expect alot to automate testing of our
software.  I can not do 5000 telnets in one hour but expect can.
