empty is an "expect" like program which can be used to steer interactive applications (such as telnet) from within shell scripts, but doesn't rely on tcl/tk or perl etc. I found it through the related LWN article: http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=10929 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Created attachment 68427 [details] fixed ebuild according to #2, version bumped. Please test on sparc.
reopen.
If it's ok for everyone I'll take care of this. The first version in portage will be app-admin/empty-0.6.1b, if it's working. Also a RDEPEND="virtual/logger" will be added since "empty" expect a socket in /dev/log. Be patient untill I've finished to re-read the "add a new ebuild" section of the developer manual ;)
Created attachment 86075 [details] 0.6.9b ebuild should anyone be interested :)
Tested 0.6.9b ebuild on ~amd64. Compiles and runs example tests.
Latest version is now empty-0.6.11b, version-bumping is sufficient. Compiles and works as expected on x86, could be tested on amd64, sparc and hppa.
Tested empty-0.6.11b ebuild on ~amd64. Compiles and runs as expected. Tested example ssh tests.
Created attachment 140178 [details] 0.6.14b version bump added "examples" USE flag which conditionally installs /usr/share/doc/${P}/examples.
New year, new bump. There is a newer version out, 0.6.16b. Simple ebuild bump works.
(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug) 'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached to this bug. This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the main tree. Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely manner. There are simply too many new packages. Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =) Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. Thanks, On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team, Jeremy.

Created attachment 296697 [details] empty-0.6.18b.ebuild Here is a modern and more robust ebuild for the latest version. To follow is a patch that fixes the two worst compiler warnings. It doesn't seem to be particularly well-written and it looks like development has stalled but it works for me.

James's ebuild added to tree. Thanks.
