Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to provide auto inputs for a sub-script within a script? Post 302891380 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 5th of March 2014 11:06:01 AM

I'm confused to your requirements. Smilie

Do you want to automate running the switch-user and the db_tools? You could perhaps:-
Code:
su - sybase -c "echo \"13\n0\" | /var/tmp/db_tools" >> logfile

If you want to add a function to the db_tools scripts, we will need to see the script to know how it is laid out. Hopefully, there is a menu display, an input request and then a case statement, in which case we can add the function easily.



Can you help me out and explain what you are after?

It would be good to know the OS and version as some tools may have differences.
