chat Utility
I am seeking a general utility that can communicate from a batch script with an interactive program such as smbclient. I want to invoke the shell script and have no further interaction. Is chat the program? Is another better? Where can I find it? I'm running RedHat 6.5, Mandrake
For smbclient, use the -c option and seperate your commands with a semicolon. This works very well.

This answer solves my immediate problem--thanks!
But my question was more general. Is is the norm in Linux for applications to have command-line options that can be operated in batch mode. If not, is there a keystroke emulation program out there that can automatically interact with programs that require a dialog with the user?
