Listmates (also cc'ed to dnh) How do I provide a response to a program called from within a script from within the script itself? Sort of like a password chat program waiting on the prompt? Specifically, I have automated setting up a self signed server certificate for apache2 calling openssl from the script: # Generating Private Server Key openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024 # Generate Certificate Signing Request (CSR) openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr # Remove Passphrase from Key echo -e "\n\t${lightblue}Removing Passphrase From Key To Eliminate PW Request cp server.key server.key.protected openssl rsa -in server.key.protected -out server.key Each of the openssl requests ask either to create a password or to enter a password. Is the chat program the best solution? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
