system command

[David Williams]

Hello everyone,
I am writing a script that runs a command which needs a password.
I don't want the user to have to enter the password, I want the script
to supply it. I think the system command will allow me to do this.
Does anyone have any examples of how to do this and can I somehow also
prevent the password from being seen clear text?

Thanks
