[nmglug] bash script question,

[Ed Brown]

Is it necessary for your script to actually login?  You can probably do
check outs, or updates, for example, without doing the login first.

Otherwise, if you have to do interactive stuff from a script, look into
the 'script' utility, which can automate login dialogs etc.
