Login, excute command, logout Script Help
Good Evening all,
After spending the last week or so reading many posts I decided to register and join in. This is my first post on the forum so please forgive me as im new to this, Im after some help in throwing together a quick basic script without using expect to change the password on several routers.
All i need to do is below
ssh username@hostname
then you will be prompted for a password so the script needs to enter the password.
Commands that need entering
password change
then you will be prompted for current password so script to enter current password
you will then be prompted to enter new password so again script to enter
then you are requested to confirm the password again.
logout then start over again on the next router.
unfortunatly i am unable to create password less login either...
Any help you guys can offer would be very much appreciated.
Thanks

VIPW(8) System Manager's Manual VIPW(8)
NAME
vipw - edit the password file
SYNOPSIS
vipw
DESCRIPTION
Vipw edits the password file while setting the appropriate locks, and does any necessary processing after the password file is unlocked.
If the password file is already being edited, then you will be told to try again later. The vi editor will be used unless the environment
variable EDITOR indicates an alternate editor.
Vipw performs a number of consistency checks on the password entries, and will not allow a password file with a ``mangled'' entry to be
installed. If vipw rejects the new password file, the user is prompted to re-enter the edit session.
Once the information has been verified, vipw uses mkpasswd(8) to update the user database. This is run in the background, and, at very
large sites could take several minutes. Until this update is completed, the password file is unavailable for other updates and the new
information will not be available to programs.
