I think it is less a question of using a specific tool but a question of how the application handles its input.
If the application asks for the password and then expects <stdin> to provide it you might be able to use one of the following constructs:
But with ssh (for instance) this would fail. Secure Shell doesn't use the regular <stdin> due to security reasons and you will have to provide the password either by exchanging keys (to speak generally: by applications means) or by hand. If your application falls into the same category all the ways mentioned above will fail.
I have a java program that runs on a unix server that prompts the user for input and provides a default value to the user.
So it does something like this:
Enter source server name <source_server_name>:

dxchpwd
dxchpwd(1X)dxchpwd(1X)NAME
dxchpwd - Create or change password program
SYNOPSIS
dxchpwd
dxchpwd -r | -l
dxchpwd [-r | -l] -q
dxchpwd [-r | -l] -u username
OPTIONS
If dxchpwd is invoked without any options, it is assumed that the current user's password is to be changed. The following options are also
accepted: Tells dxchpwd that the password change is to be done for a Local user. This can be combined with the -u and -q options. Tells
dxchpwd that the password change is to be done for a NIS user. This can only be done from a NIS master and can be combined with the -u and
-q options. Tells dxchpwd to query the user for the user name of the account whose password is to be changed. Tells dxchpwd to change
this user's password.
DESCRIPTION
The dxchpwd command lets you change your password. When you invoke the dxchpwd command, the program prompts you for the old password and
then for the new password. Next, the program asks you for the new password again, to verify that you have typed it correctly. Note that
the passwords are not displayed on the screen.
Your new password must meet the length requirements specified by the authorization database for the user whose password is being changed.
If your system is running with enhanced security, you may have to choose a password from a list of randomly generated passwords or you may
be prohibited from changing your password until its minimum lifetime has expired, as specified in the authorization database.
EXAMPLES
The following example requests that the password be changed for user smith: dxchpwd -u smith
FILES
Password file Protected Password Database dxchpwd executable
