[SOLVED] Details on piping information into command

[marker5a]

Hello All
I am sure this has been covered before, however I do not know which terms to sue for searching for this, so I will try and explain it.

I have a program that I run at startup to connect me to my work VPN, specifically the Cisco VPN client. When running the program, it prompts me for my username and password. I would like to be able to automate the login process by piping the username and password into the program everytime it starts up (username and password cannot be passed as arguments to the program)

Something like echo username | echo password | vpn_script

Thanks and sorry if this is a vague description of what I am looking for

Have a look at "expect"

man expect

That is perfect, thank you!
