Automating The process
Hi Guru's,

I am trying to write a scripts that will automate my image provisoining process.

Scenario:

I have Linux Image Hosted on cloud which needs to be provisoned before it can be used. Currently we log onto the image through the putty on windows and connect to linux instance. I login as root then a scipt which runs as part of .profile of root user asks for certain inputs from the user which are as follows:
Accept License Agreemnet : (y/n)
New Password for user root:
New password for user xyx :

I just do not want to connect to each instance and enter the required values. I just wanted to enter the parameter as commandline input. what I tried was below

Code:
c:\putty.exe -load "session name in putty" -l root  -m c:\putty1.txt

c:\putty1.txt contains the parameters y,password for users.

the issue is that this values from input file are passed on to shell before prompted for causing the script to terminate.

Any help on this will be helpful.

Arshad

prima::image::transparencycontrol

Prima::Image::TransparencyControl(3)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		      Prima::Image::TransparencyControl(3)

NAME

       Prima::Image::TransparencyControl - standard dialog for transparent color index selection.

DESCRIPTION

       The module contains two classes - "Prima::Image::BasicTransparencyDialog" and "Prima::Image::TransparencyControl". The former provides a
       dialog, used by image codec-specific save options dialogs to select a transparent color index when saving an image to a file.
       "Prima::Image::TransparencyControl" is a widget class that displays the image palette and allow color rather than index selection.

Prima::Image::TransparencyControl
   Properties
       index INTEGER
	   Selects the palette index.

       image IMAGE
	   Selects image which palette is displayed, and the color index can be selected from.

   Events
       Change
	   Triggered when the user changes "index" property.

Prima::Image::BasicTransparencyDialog
   Methods
       transparent BOOLEAN
	   If 1, the transparent selection widgets are enabled, and the user can select the palette index. If 0, the widgets are disabled; the
	   image file is saved with no transparent color index.

	   The property can be toggled interactively by a checkbox.
