My favorite thing in the Tcl ecosystem was "Expect". It's a tool you can use to automate ssh/telnet/serial connections to other machines.

It has a really mature and elegant way of handling the automation of command/response scenarios in connections to other machines.

I do similar stuff with .net now, but it's not as pretty. I wish there were a modern equivalent of Expect that as as nice.
