Re: Installing Expect

["Burke, Joel" <jburke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Great. That worked.

One thing i noticed, the expect command does not seem to be in my path. I
have to call:
/usr/local/bin/expect

Do i need to add the path to my enivorment variables or should i have
installed expect to a different directory?
