Computer input username and password interactively
Hi guys,

I am using Solaris 10 and we install IBM OnDemand server there. there's a command called arsload that we use to load document and query document too. I need to write a script to query document but when querying document, this command prompt for username then password.
My question is how can I input the username and password in the script automatically? Any advice is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

regards,
Mark Thien

Hi,

when I execute the following command:

arsdoc query -h ADMIN -f "System log" -e ";" -i

it will prompt me like below:
OnDemand Login:
and then
OnDemand Password:

I want to put this query into a shell script like below:

HTML Code:
#!/bin/sh

arsdoc query -h ADMIN -f "System log" -e ";" -i 
// auto input username here
// auto input password here
