Avocent MERGEPOINT SP MANAGER

NOTE: Administrators need to create new Expect scripts for new families by using talk_custom1.exp, talk_
custom2.exp, or talk_custom3.exp for the filenames in the /etc/libexec/mergepoint directory.
To create a custom family (Expect script):
1. Log into the MergePoint SP manager console as admin.
2. Go to the /etc/libexec/mergepoint directory.
3. A user can create a new script talk_customN.exp or copy an existing talk_<family_
name>.exp and name the new file in the format: talk_customN.exp.
NOTE: Use talk_custom1.exp for the first custom script, talk_custom2.exp for a second, up to a total of three
scripts.
4. Edit the script as desired.
5. Save and quit the file.
6. Make sure the permissions are still 755.
NOTE: Contact your Avocent representative if you need additional support for creating a custom Expect script.
