[nsp] Cisco commands automatically sent

[john heasley]

rancid has part of what you desire, the login and run commands portion.
you can augment it with expect script parts that perform the logic of
what commands where.  eg:

	cat >cmds
	conf t
	int s4/3
	shut
	end
	^D
	clogin -x cmds router

ni [132] clogin -x c shaggy
shaggy
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l heas shaggy
heas@shaggy's password: 

shaggy#
shaggy#term length 0
shaggy#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
shaggy(config)#in s4/3
shaggy(config-if)#shut
shaggy(config-if)#end
shaggy#
shaggy#exit
Connection to shaggy closed.

-x has limitations.

	cat > cmds.expect
	bunch-o ugly expect drivel
	^D
	clogin -s cmds.expect router

example cmds.expect scripts comes with, under util/*.exp
