Hi guys,
I have a script (that I cannot alter) that registers some stuff into a database. It needs 2 switches and after I launch it, it asks for a usr name and a pass. The problem is that I need to register 60+ entries with that script.
My idea is to create some wrapper that will read my usr/pass once, and pass it along to the initial script.
This is what I've done so far ("multireg.sh):
The register_client.sh is the culprit and the wrapper (multireg.sh) should be launched like [CMD=""]./multireg.sh 1 2 3 4 5 etc[/CMD].
For each argument, the wrapper should know how to read and write the 2 inputs the initial script needs, which are
but I have a tough time understanding how to do this.
Can anyone help ?
