1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data: I am trying to write a shell script that prompts the user for the password which is "lux" once the correct password has been typed it then needs to list files and folders in the home directory and save it to a text file. If the user types the password wrong 3 times it displays a message and closes the terminal window. If the password was typed correctly after it lists the files and folders in home directory it then needs to ask the name of the user and it inserts it and the date in the first and second lines of the file.
At the end it shows a message about being done with the process.
2. Relevant commands, code, scripts, algorithms: This is what I have so far but I am stuck I get a error message " unexpected error at ln 9" after I type the password.
3. The attempts at a solution (include all code and scripts):

I'm using rsync with the "-e ssh" option so of course it asks for a password using a prompt. Is there a way to tell a script to expect a prompt, wait for it, and give a password when it arrives?

DEBCONF-MERGETEMPLATE(1) Debconf DEBCONF-MERGETEMPLATE(1)NAME
debconf-mergetemplate - merge together multiple debconf template files
SYNOPSIS
debconf-mergetemplate [options] [templates.ll ...] templates
DESCRIPTION
Note: This utility is deprecated. You should switch to using po-debconf's po2debconf program.
This program is useful if you have multiple debconf templates files which you want to merge together into one big file. All the specified
files will be read in, merged, and output to standard output.
This can be especially useful if you are dealing with translated template files. In this case, you might have your main template file, plus
several other files provided by the translators. These files will have translated fields in them, and maybe the translators left in the
english versions of the fields they translated, for their reference.
So, you want to merge together all the translated templates files with your main templates file. Any fields that are unique to the
translated files need to be added in to the correct templates, but any fields they have in common should be superseded by the fields in the
main file (which might be more up-to-date).
This program handles that case properly, just list each of the translated templates files, and then your main templates file last.
OPTIONS --outdated
Merge in even outdated translations. The default is to drop them with a warning message.
--drop-old-templates
If a translation has an entire template that is not in the master file (and thus is probably an old template), drop that entire
template.
