passing password to a command
Hi all,

I have the expect binaries in our boxes..

I want to pass a passwd to a command automatically without manual intervention using "/<path_of_expect>/expect/<version>/bin/autopasswd"

The below command will ask passwd in my script

Code:
 
cleartool rmtag -all <vob_tag>
#Some messages/Warnings will come here, then it'll ask passwd
Registry passwd:




Can any one please provide the way how to use the expect with the command to avoid asking passwd....SmilieSmilie

Thanks in advance..

Regards,
VRN
