Vincent, thanks. Can you share your sanitized expect script?
The following expect script fails (silently) at the last
prompt/response:
hadoop@ip-10-151-84-108:~$ cat /tmp/initfile
spawn /accumulo-1.4.2/bin/accumulo init
expect "Instance name :"
send "foo\r"
expect "Enter initial password*"
send "foo\r"
expect "Confirm initial password*"
send "foo\r"
hadoop@ip-10-151-84-108:~$ expect -f /tmp/initfile
spawn /accumulo-1.4.2/bin/accumulo init

Instance name : foo
Enter initial password for root: ***
Confirm initial password for root: hadoop@ip-10-151-84-108:~$
Note how it did not echo asterisks for the final prompt/response
and then left the shell prompt dangling there.

Is there any way to automate 'accumulo init'?
As it is now, we have fully automated standing up Hadoop
and HBase.
Requiring a human to interactively type a command in order
to get finished Accumulo installation is a major roadblock
to automation via configuration management tools such as
Chef, CFEngine, or Puppet.
