Just use a redirect: echo "$PASSWORD" | cryptsetup -y create private /dev/sda5 or: cryptsetup -y create private /dev/sda5 </path/to/file-containing-password or even: cryptsetup -y create private /dev/sda5 <<EOF $PASSWORD EOF If the command needs multiple inputs, just put them on separate lines. But looking at the partman-crypto component which uses the same command, it looks like there is a -d option to cryptsetup to pass a password on the command line... (See /lib/partman/lib/crypto-base.sh from a running instance of the installer.) Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
