Using expect script in a shell script or vice versa

Hi All,
Has anyone used expect script in a shell script or vice versa. I have a script which would ssh and scp to other machines. I need to use expect script so that user does not have to enter the password everytime ssh/scp command is executed.

The script is as below. I need to pass the store_password[$i] , store_hostname[$i] to the expect script.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh
##Take input from the user
c=d=e=0
while [ "$host_name" != done ] 
do
  echo "Please enter the host_name"
  read host_name
  if [ "$host_name" = done ] ; then break; fi
  store_hostname[$c]=$host_name
  c=$(( c + 1 ))
#  echo "Please enter the username"
#  read username
#  store_username[$d]=$username
#  d=$(( d + 1 ))
   echo "Please enter the password"
   read password
   store_password[$e]=$password
   e=$(( e + 1 ))
done
echo ${store_hostname[0]} 
len=${#store_hostname[*]}
echo $len
for (( i=0; $i < $len; i++ ))
do
#ssh -q root@${store_hostname[$i]} mkdir temp
scp -r /root/temp root@${store_hostname[$i]}:/root/
ssh -q root@${store_hostname[$i]} /root/temp/temp1.sh
done

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename] DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS. The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed. OPTIONS
The following option is supported: -a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it. NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |CSI |Enabled | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO

script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script. SunOS 5.11 30 Jan 2004 script(1)
