Access a complete flow with CURL + bash shell
Hello Experts ,

I have an use case which needed your help . I have been using google for 2 days buy couldn`t succed , i believe i can get the help here.

Here is my use case to run on bash shell

1. Access an URL -- in script , it will be mentioned as inputURL
2. Once i accessed the URL on step 1 , it will be redirected to a login page - in script it will be called as LoginPageURL
3. I will key in the creds with below syntax of curl - creds.txt has credentails saved
hitlogipage = curl --url $LoginPageURL -K- <<< "--user $mydir/creds.txt"
4. Once i accessed internally , it will get redirect to an .fcc page and then to URL2 .
5. While it redirect to URL2 , it will have some cookie details in headers , which i need to capture and display-- It will be awked and saved on a variable called SessionCookie.

curl -I $hitloginpage

Can some one provide me some help ?

i couldn`t achieve step 4 and 5 .

openvt

OPENVT(1)							     Linux 1.x								 OPENVT(1)

NAME

       openvt - start a program on a new virtual terminal (VT).

SYNOPSIS

       openvt [-c vtnumber] [-s] [-u] [-l] [-v] [--] command command_options

DESCRIPTION

       openvt  will  find the first available VT, and run on it the given command with the given command options, standard input, output and error
       are directed to that terminal. The current search path ($PATH) is used to find the requested command. If no command is specified  then  the
       environment variable $SHELL is used.

   OPTIONS
       -c vtnumber
	      Use the given VT number and not the first available. Note you must have write access to the supplied VT for this to work.

       -e     Directly execute the given command, without forking.  This option is meant for use in /etc/inittab.

       -s     Switch to the new VT when starting the command. The VT of the new command will be made the new current VT.

       -u     Figure out the owner of the current VT, and run login as that user.  Suitable to be called by init. Shouldn't be used with -c or -l.

       -l     Make the command a login shell. A - is prepended to the name of the command to be executed.

       -v     Be a bit more verbose.

       -w     wait  for command to complete. If -w and -s are used together then openvt will switch back to the controlling terminal when the com-
	      mand completes.

       --     end of options to openvt.

NOTE

       If openvt is compiled with a POSIX (GNU) getopt() and you wish to set options to the command to be run, then you must  supply  the  end	of
       options -- flag before the command.

EXAMPLES

       openvt can be used to start a shell on the next free VT, by using the command:

       openvt bash

       To start the shell as a login shell, use:

       openvt -l bash

       To get a long listing you must supply the -- separator:

       openvt -- ls -l

HISTORY

       Earlier, openvt was called open.  It was written by Jon Tombs <jon@gtex02.us.es or jon@robots.ox.ac.uk>.  The -w idea is from "sam".
