How to pipe in password for the root with out keyboard??
HI All
Is there any way to pipe in the password of the user, so that I don't have
to manually enter it? (i.e. - so that I can run this in a script)

Doing

echo "password" | su user -c"command"

it says "standard in must be a tty".

Can anyone tell me how to do it??


Thanks

Cashan

AFAIK, you can't
But you can play with SUID and write wrappers for the apps/commands that you most often use. I was thinking just this morning that it's a real bore having to

$su
$xxxxxxx
$shutdown -h now

everytime I turn off my macine - and a oneline

$powerdown

would be much more convenient.
