[opensuse] BASH Help -- howto provide automatic input to program called in script?
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.

Ahh, Seems there is a new species of animal called expect? expect/send/send_user/exp_continue new syntax pretty cool. Thankfully, since the openssl prompts are known the here document approach was just the ticket -- as long as they don't change the openssl prompts. Thanks David & Aaron. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

No it's ooooold. But everything is new to each person at some point :) There are still Heinlein books that I am carefully preserving as new-to-me, so that, yay for me, I still have "new" Heinlein to read some day! -- Brian K.
