Hi there,

I have a CVS server I want to connect to to get an update, unfortunatly I dont get to connect because it keeps telling me the connection is refused.

Some other ppl having this problem suggested me to try over and over again.

so I wrote a little 2 line textfile m.txt which I then run using the command "bash m.txt", now I cant get it to press enter for me at the password promt, can anyone tell me whats the command for enter?

thanx alot

You'll probably be looking at using
expect for that ...

man expect
for more details ;)

Cheers,

It lets you "listen" on the console
and respond programmatically...
