hi,
I'm trying to write a short perl script that takes stdin as a command
line option and executes it with the command I'm using in the script. I
don't want the stdin to be visible when entering it in. Any assistance would
be appreciated.
here is what I have so far...
--------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "what is the password to continue execution?\n";
chomp ($execpasswd=<STDIN>);
system('clear'); #leaves stdin in xterm scroll buffer
print "trying to execute.....\n";
system('echo "hello my password is $execpasswd"');
print "the password is $execpasswd"
exit
------------------------------------------
