Hi Brett,
Why not use the 'expect' program? It's purpose is to enable
you to deal with interactive programs non-interactively. In
the words of the man page:
'Expect is a program that "talks" to other interactive programs
according to a script.'
So you can write a script that expects the password prompt from
clog and sends the password in response. Your script would have
pairs of lines like:
expect "username:"
send "brett\r"
expect "password:"
send "mypassword\r"
The BSDs and Linux all have ports / packages.
Regards,
Dermot
