Re: Staying in svrmgrl through a script.

This is what the program "expect" is designed for. The following 4-line script will do what you want.

oracle$ cat ./tmp.exp
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn svrmgrl
expect "SVRMGR> " {send "connect internal\r"} interact

Get expect from
ftp://ftp.cme.nist.gov/pub/expect
