Question Password Shell Script Solaris 9

I am working on a script to set/change passwords for users. The script prompts you for the username and then the password. They are stored in variables: $uname and $pword. The script then runs passwd $uname. The output is this:

passwd chris

new password:

What I need to know at this point is how to get the value of $pword to be the input for the new password.

Thanks,
Chris

Please do not post the same thread in more than one forum. Picking the most relevant forum and posting it once there makes it easier for other members to help you and keeps the discussion all in one place.
