automating password ?
Hi all,
I want to write a script which logs into a database (DB2). To do this i need to have a password. This will be done lots and lots of times, so i need to modify the script to automate the response to the password request.
How do i this, because at present i do the following:
db2 connect to dnb0j2 user liam
it does not return to the script to allow me to respond with the password.
Can someone give me an example ? or point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

MULOG(1) Museek Daemon Plus MULOG(1)
NAME
Mulog - Chat Logging Script for Museekd
DESCRIPTION
Mulog is command-line Python script that connects to museekd(1) and saves chat messages into log files. Under the Log Directory, it creates
room & private subdirectories and a syslog file. If it loses connection with museekd, it will automatically exit.
Setting the interface and password on the command-line is a security risk. Since interface and password settings are saved to the config
file when set, you should set them, exit mulog, and restart mulog without the options on the commandline..LP
Before running, you will need a working museekd(1) and need to know your museekd interface and interface password. Configure those with
musetup(1).
SYNOPSIS
mulog [-c <config-filename> ] [--config <config-filename>] [-i <host:port | /socket.path>] [--interface <host:port | /socket.path> [-p
<interface-password>] [--password <inteface-password>] [-l <directory>] [--log <directory>] [-v] [--version] [-h] [--help]
OPTIONS
Mulog accepts the following options:
-c <filename>, --config <filename>
Use a different config file.
-l <directory>, --log <directory>
Use a different chat log directory.
-i, --interface <host:port | /socket.path>
Choose a different interface (saved to config file)
-p, --password <interface-password>
Choose a different password (saved to config file)
-v, --version
Display Version and exit.
-h, --help
Display Help and exit.
EXAMPLE
To run this program the standard way type:
mulog
Alternativly you use a different config file with:
mulog --config mulog.config
To set the interface password:
mulog --password 1234567890
FILES
