Once Expect is installed, from a terminal session you can immediately begin creating your scripts without any formal scripting knowledge by entering the command "autoexpect –p". Every key stroke you enter will be entered into a local text file called "script.exp" until "exit" is typed. After you terminate the autoexpect session you will have a script in "script.exp" that is able to replay the session. You can use this to record common tasks and/or capture character cell menu sessions. Furthermore you can import the newly created script into a Schedule Job with command "schedule insert {jobname} script.exp".
Simple example:
autoexpect -p
schedule insert myexpectjob script.exp
