Coincidentally I came across this yesterday: http://code.google.com/p/exscript/ "Exscript is a scripting language for automating network connections over protocols such as Telnet or SSH. It is in some ways comparable to Expect, but has some unique features that make it a lot easier to use and understand for non-developers."
