I'd think this can be done fairly painlessly using expect (http://expect.nist.gov/); maybe autoexpect might be interesting too to get you started (http://expect.nist.gov/doc/autoexpect.pdf is linked under Articles/Papers on the main page). A tutorial is available at: http://www.leto.net/docs/tcl.html Introductions/tutorials for tcl (the language expect is based upon) are collected here: http://mini.net/tcl/1304.html Hope this gets you started! (BTW: Tcl/Tk and expect are included as RPMs in the standard distribution of redhat since I don't know when).
