Exec command before/during/after "expect"

[Benjamin Redling]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to script around an ugly installer that expects to run from a
DVD. I copied the DVDs and mounted them as loop device.
The problem I face is that after the first DVD finished and it outputs a
line beginning with "Insert DVD 2..."
(A software that typically gets installed on a lot of cluster nodes...
even when you say "-silent" to the installer... yeah!)
but I have to umount the first disc and mount the second one _before
sending a response_.

Alternativly copying the content of the DVDs together doesn't work,
because the installer seems to check for the presence of files of the
first DVD -- or at least it outputs a warning it still found the first
DVD. That's why I started the whole mount/umount hassle...

Do I need to wrap a expect script and use the command or shell module
for that, or is there a more elegant way with ansible?
_Any_ ideas welcome that enable non-interactive handling of that situation.

Regards,
Benjamin
