Logging in with Username/Password on one line
Hello,

I am currently working on a project that requires me to remote login into another UNIX system using different credentials. The problem is that progamatically I cannot simply feed the password into the UNIX system. Is there a way to feed the password within one command line statement.

I tried using the following, but there are no parameters for password for the rlogin statement.

rlogin servername -l username

You can create an entry in
Code:
$HOME/.rhosts

to rlogin without password.
