Passing username and password to a script running inside "expect" script
Hi
I'm trying to run a script " abc.sh" which triggers "use.sh" .
abc.sh is nothing but a "expect" script which provides username and password automatically to the use.sh script.
my second script use.sh is placed in /root/ directory..
please find the script below:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Username: "
read u
echo "Password: "
read p
echo "$u --- $p"
When I execute the script abc.sh I get just
Username:
Unless and until I entert it manually it won't proceed ahead. I understand that since now the control is in use.sh , expect is not working. So any workaround for this..??? Please help me out.
Please note that this is just a 4-5 lines script similar to some other script we use in our project. I cannot change anything in "use.sh". I'm free to edit abc.sh.

su
su(1) General Commands Manual su(1)Name
su - substitute a user ID
Syntax
su [username]
su - [username]
su -f [username]
Description
The command requests the password of the specified username. If the correct password is given, changes to that username without changing
the current directory. The user environment is unchanged except for HOME and SHELL which are taken from the password file entry for user-
name. The shell that is run is also taken from the password file entry for username. The new user ID stays in force until the shell
exits.
If no username is specified, `root' is assumed. To remind the superuser of his responsibilities, the shell substitutes `#' for its usual
prompt.
Options-f Prevents from executing the .cshrc file, making start up faster.
- Simulates a full login.
Diagnostics
Sorry

Unknown login: username
The specified username was not found in the passwd database.
No directory
The home directory for the username is not accessible at this time (only with ``-'' argument).
No shell
The shell specified in the passwd database entry for username could not be executed.
Kerberos initialization failure
