http://wiki.tcl.tk/11583 has a example that's pretty close, along with
other Expect examples that you may find useful, but if you're willing
to consider alternative solutions, I'd recommend using the "sudo"
command instead. "man sudo" for details -- it should already be
available on your (BSD-based?) system.

ObTcl: Tcl's a great Swiss army knife, and you could use it to cut
grass, but if you already have a lawnmower, why bother? 8-)
