Script to automation utility app
Hi All,

Am trying to write a shell script to automate one of the product utility but am struck with how to send/key in the inputs and most importantly it requires to press "Enter" key every time after giving the input.

Not sure how to take control of utility from script and key in values/command.

Can anyone please suggest or show the example on how automate the utility thru shell script.

ex: how utility is work manually.

./testItem

it opens screen with key in the input/command

once input is typed/key in then we need to press "Enter" Key

then we get relevant key in's output

I need to capture this output in some variable and verify the results later in main shell script.

Thanks,
Ops

tzselect

TZSELECT(1)                                                Debian Timezone Configuration                                               TZSELECT(1)

NAME

       tzselect - view timezones

SYNOPSIS

       tzselect

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  explains how you can use the tzselect utility to view the installed timezone. It comes handy when you want to know what
       time it is in other countries, or if you just wonder what timezones exist.

       tzselect is called without any parameters from the shell. It shows a list of about one dozen geographic areas one can roughly recognize  as
       continents. After choosing a geographic area by number, a list of countries and cities in this area will be shown.

       You  can  press  the  Enter key to reprint the list. To choose a timezone, just press the number left to it.  If your input is invalid, the
       list will be reprinted.

       You may press Ctrl-C to interrupt the script at any time.

       Note that tzselect will not actually change the timezone for you. Use 'dpkg-reconfigure tzdata' to achieve this.
