Hi,
I am trying to do a relogin during the execution of a shell script. The prompt for the user password always get directed to the console, is there any way I can programmtically supply the password?
e.g.
#!/bin/csh
su user_name => the password prompt goes to console output (how to supply password within the script?)
Thanks

Hi Victor,
I don't believe there is in a shell script.
Whenever I've need a script to su without a password, I have got it run it from the root account and used syntax:
su - user_name -c script_to_be_run
I believe that tcl expect is designed to supply information as if you were typing it in. You might want to have a look at that.
Good luck,
Andy

I know this is sometime ago when you posted this question but i wanted to know if you came to a solution with this problem as i am having the same problem. I am running a shell script as one user and try to su to another user but it prompts me for a password and i can't hard it.
If you can let me know how you solved this problem it would be good.
