Shell script password input
hy,

I wrote a simple shell script to monitor (with Nagios) a SNX VPN function. Here the Code snippet:

Code:
testing=`ssh user@IP-address 'ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0'`

#echo $testing


if [ $testing = "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0" > /dev/null 2>%1 ]; then
        echo "VPN is working"
        exit 0

else    snx -s server -u user
        exit 0
fi

As you could see if the VPN connection is establised I got a simple output text in Nagios. But when the VPN connection isnīt up and running I want to establise a connection with the command "snx -s server -u user".
Than I have to put in a Password manually

Code:
Check Point's Linux SNX
build 800007075
Please enter your password:

And there I run into problems. How could I automate such a login within the script? Any Ideas?


regards
Tommy
