Hey all,
I have a set of expect scripts that interact with various services to
launch a custom application on multiple servers, however when I do the
launch, comint-watch-for-password-prompt minibuffers pop up even though
expect is doing the password handling.
Looking at the source code and seeing how the hooks are installed I don't
see any way to turn password prompting off. Am I missing anything? If not
I'd like to propose adding a few millisecond delay that checks to see if
execution has continued past the password prompt. If so someone/something
has entered the password "behind Emacs' back" and there's no need to prompt.
Thoughts?
Noah

Does
(remove-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
'comint-watch-for-password-prompt)
fail to do what you want?

It's mostly laziness. What I'd like is solution that lets me enter values
interactively in the minibuffer when I'm running interactively and have it
automatically run when I'm not. I do both in the same shell window.
Removing the hook *would* get rid of the problem, but my password would be
cleartext.

Sounds like a good idea. And additionally, the minibuffer could
automatically be canceled when further output is received.
