Running plink with user input interaction from vb.net

[sheauyun]

Hi there,

I am trying to run a .sh file with plink from vb.net.

I am now able to run the .sh on vb.net throught plink but i have a problem because the .sh script require user input:
The .sh is prompting a few question and require user to input y/n to proceed.

I am trying plink.standardi nput.writeline( "y") but it looks like this input is not feed to the .sh script but rather to the plink session after the .sh script ended.

Any idea about this or is there any other way for this?

Thanks

sheauyun,

Try creating an input file for your shell script, then execute the shell-script using input redirecton to read the file.

Unfortunately I don't have VB at the moment, but something like this:

/...path.../plink < /...path.../in-file

Hopefully that helps,

Oralloy,

Thank you for your recommendation but I actually need to execute the shell-script first. Then depend on user to key-in y or n after they confirm the result.

Any other idea to do this?

Thanks
