[SunHELP] help on script writing

[Alex Avriette]

I agree with the previous answerers with regards to using sudo for this.
However, in general when one needs to interact with a program through a
shell script, expect(1) is used. Below is the header from the manpage.
Interestingly, I cannot find expect on any of my solaris (5.8) machines here
at work, though it is present on one of my clients' linux machines (RH6.2).

Cheers,
alex
