Why do you need expect? Can you not just use read and then on execution enter your password?

I just want to give some user defined input

because daily i access many server and sometimes i use same commands

so that i want to use it.

You could use Expect, but it's very risky (security) to put usernames+passwds in a script.
How about ssh auth-keys or ssh-agent?

yes, i agree to ssh rsa auth and i use this for my regular server,

i just want to use it for my other uses.

well thanks
