Nice little script, but it's a lot easier: When you really want to provide the
pass phrase via a program in batch all you've to do is to use a program via
SSLPassPhraseDialog exec:/path/to/program". That's a lot faster and robust
than the expect fiddling and the result is the same. But please always keep in
mind what the docs explicitly say: The whole stuff is not more secure than
just removing the pass phrase at all! At least not until your
exec:/path/to/program is a more clever thing... and even when its clever, you
cannot achieve real security even this way, of course.
