I am writing a bash script to run the nisclient command on a word list with
a for in loop. I'm using a here document to accept user
input in this case I want it to be the letter y so that the script
continues. When I run the script you'll see below it just asks
over and over if you want to continue y or n. I want the script
to enter y and continue.
If someone knows a better way and can provide the code that would be
helpful as well.
Here is the script I have so far
bash-2.03# more change_nis_cred.sh
#This script script cycles through a word list and uses a for in loop.
set -x
#
for user in credlist.txt
do
# Start of Here document
#
nisclient -cl newpass $user <<- FINIS
echo "Changed $user account password"
FINIS
done
bash-2.03#
This is what happens when I run the script
# ./change_nis_cred.sh
++ nisclient -cl newpass credlist.txt
You will be adding DES credentials in domain daveo.gov. for
credlist.txt
** nisclient will not overwrite any existing entries in the
** credential table.
