	Objet:	RE: [SunHELP] help on script writing

	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
