Does the expect command work after an su is executed in the script?

Question

Does expect work by emulating the feeding of key strokes to the terminal?

I answered, but @Mat is right. You could have proven it to yourself in less time than it took to write the question. — Zac Thompson, Apr 11 '12 at 20:23
I only consider functionality to be genuine if it is part of the design specification. Just because something works does not mean it will always work. I don't like 'features' — vfclists, Apr 11 '12 at 21:55

Yes and yes, although the second bit ("emulating ... key strokes") is an oversimplification.
