automate the input in a script
I have a program that i have to run by cron. The program needs user input. So i have to automate that in a littke script.
start of script program.sh:
result=program.log; export result
echo Program starting : `date` >> $result
/usr/local/program >> $result
echo Program running : `date` >> $result
The program normally asks for a string (a pass phrase).
How can i do this ?
I know i have to use something like :
/usr/local/program >> $result 2>&1 <<eof
blablablabla
eof
but i don't get it to work
Thanks in advance
