Re: Shell Script on Debian

[ApOgEE <jerungkun@gmail.com>]

Hi,
There is another way... Here's my way to do it:
copy and paste this command:

$ cat > chpass << EOF
#!/bin/sh
# \\
exec expect -f "\$0" \${1+"\$@"}
set password [lindex \$argv 1]
spawn passwd [lindex \$argv 0]
sleep 1
expect "assword:"
send "\$password\r"
expect "assword:"
send "\$password\r"
expect eof
EOF


Then issue this command:
$ chmod +x chpass


to test it, just try this command:
$ ./chpass <username> <newpassword>

for example:
root@mydebian:root# /root/chpass root mynewrootpass
spawn passwd root
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully
root@mydebian:root#

Good Luck!!
