Automate CVS login using shell script

Hi,
Can anyone pls help me to automate login to cvs. I basically want to login to cvs and update a file.
the script always gets to the login and returns the prompt for a password.
Is there any way to send the password in the script itself.
Here is the script:
Code:
 
#!/bin/ksh
cvsdir="/home/G/eais/"
#Update CVS
echo "updating CVS for $1"
cd $cvsdir
. cvslogin.sh

It is not required that the password needs to be masked or taken fromanother file. Since very few have access to the server i can hardcode the password in the shell script itself.

Any help is greatly appriciated.

P.S: I also searched the forum and did not find anything in this regard

CHSH(1) 							   User Commands							   CHSH(1)

NAME
chsh - change login shell SYNOPSIS
chsh [options] [LOGIN] DESCRIPTION
The chsh command changes the user login shell. This determines the name of the user's initial login command. A normal user may only change the login shell for her own account; the superuser may change the login shell for any account. OPTIONS
The options which apply to the chsh command are: -h, --help Display help message and exit. -R, --root CHROOT_DIR Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory. -s, --shell SHELL The name of the user's new login shell. Setting this field to blank causes the system to select the default login shell. If the -s option is not selected, chsh operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the current login shell. Enter the new value to change the shell, or leave the line blank to use the current one. The current shell is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks. NOTE
The only restriction placed on the login shell is that the command name must be listed in /etc/shells, unless the invoker is the superuser, and then any value may be added. An account with a restricted login shell may not change her login shell. For this reason, placing /bin/rsh in /etc/shells is discouraged since accidentally changing to a restricted shell would prevent the user from ever changing her login shell back to its original value. FILES
/etc/passwd User account information. /etc/shells List of valid login shells. /etc/login.defs Shadow password suite configuration. SEE ALSO
chfn(1), login.defs(5), passwd(5). shadow-utils 4.5 01/25/2018 CHSH(1)
