Automating slapconfig
I'm a New Media student working at a small media/tech company that's part of the New Media department at my school. I'm working on a MySQL/LDAP-based system for keeping track of users of our Mac file server. I'm trying to write a script that backs up our LDAP database using the slapconfig command with the -backupdb flag. When I run it, it prompts me for a password for the archive that it's going to create. I need this to run in an automated script, so it can't have user input. How can I send the password directly to slapconfig? I've tried using expect but I don't think it's the right tool for the job. The man page for slapconfig doesn't have anything.

My shell experience is pretty much limited to this project. I had someone who was mentoring me and helping out, but he's at a different campus this year and I can't get in touch with him. Any ideas?
