Help with shell scirpting
Hello,
I am new to scripting of any kind and kind of new to Linux. I am trying to create a script that will launch a program, enter my username and password, and then hit OK. I have the first to steps down, but I can't figure out how to make it hit OK. Once the program launches, I can manually hit "ALT+O" to signify OK, but I want the script to do that. Any help is appreciated. Here is what I have so far:

#!/bin/bash
cd ~georget/program
./run.sh -username blahblah -password "blahblahblah"

thank you for any help,
georget
