Well two things (I don't get you...):
What are you trying to automate (for me this means no more intervention, so it is a batch...)?
If automating, what has interacting with the prompt to do?

NAME
elza -- script language for automating HTTP requests SYNOPSIS
elza [scriptfile] DESCRIPTION
The elza is a scripting language aimed at automating requests on web pages. Scripts written in elza are capable of mimicking browser behavior almost perfectly, making it extremely difficult for remote servers to distinguish their activity from the activity generated by ordinary users and browsers. This gives those scripts the opportunity to act upon servers that will not respond to requests generated using netcat, gammaprog, rebol, or similar tool. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. OPTIONS
scriptfile The name and location of your script to be executed by elza. Variables are specified either in the .elz script, or in elza.def AUTHOR
