Since the description still isn't very clear about all that can really be suggested
is to use the exec command to redirect stdin from a file in your script. The
"<" symbol is for STDIN redirection and the ">" symbol is for STDOUT
redirection. You should probably read the man page for sh (or whichever
interpreter you wish to accomplish this in).
