your being really very helpful Perderabo, I just remembered one behavior of the program I am running
when it run interactively.
the program expect [return] after the first input ("T" in our case)
then it ask for (do you want to run in recovery mode [y/n] ) default is no, and [return] is enaugh, after that it doesn't wait for the [return] key after the keystroke, as soon as you press "2" it will go to the corresponding submenu and so on.....
I hope i was clear in what i am trying to say.

Hi,
in my script I need to execute the following command:
query $id 456 432
but it waits for a RETURN character from keyboard and therefore, it fails. I tried something like:
query $id 456 432 << '\n'
but, i'ts clear it is not correct. Is there any way to do this?

autolog
AUTOLOG(8) System Manager's Manual AUTOLOG(8)
NAME
autolog - Log out idle users
SYNOPSIS
autolog [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
The program reads the utmp file, entry by entry. The username for each 'user process' is compared to the entries in the configuration file
(see autolog.conf(5) ). The first entry to match both the name, the group, and the tty line of the process will be used to conduct the
automatic logout.
CALL
/etc/init.d/autolog start
or
autolog
to run this program in daemon-mode
autolog -o
to run this program as "ordinary" program. Keep in mind: Also when running as ordinary program, it will stay in memory until all
its jobs are done.
OPTIONS
-a (all processes) Print information on ALL utmp entries--not just user processes.
-d (debug mode) This is helpful in setting up your configuration file. The program runs in foreground rather than forking and it
prints out verbose messages about what it is doing.
-n (nokill) Use this to prevent autolog from actually "killing" anyone. Use -d and -n together when setting up a new configuration
file. ( This will not affect killing of lost processes. )
-o (ordinary) Use this to run this program as ordinary program, not as daemon. Program will end, when its job is done. In this case,
some data is kept in "/var/lib/autolog/autolog.data". This is read, when the program is called again.
-f config_file_name
Use this to override the default: "/etc/autolog.conf"
-l log_file_name
Use this to override the default: "/var/log/autolog.log". Note that if this file doesn't exist, no logging will happen. Create the
file (with touch) to enable logging.
-t idle_time
Use this to override the internal default idle time (minutes)
-g grace_period
Use this to override the internal default grace period (seconds)
-m yes/no
Use this to override the internal mailing switch. If "yes" the program will send mail to the users right after killing them.
-c yes/no
Use this to override the internal "pre-clear" switch. If "yes" the program will clear the terminal screen before warning the user.
-w yes/no
Do timeouts based on total session time--not idle time. (hard)
-l yes/no
If set to "yes" activities will be written to the logfile if present.
