[nmglug] bash script question,

[Mark Galassi]

A couple of suggestions:

first, it is a strong recommendation in the GNU coding standards, and
a good idea in general, to stick to bourne shell scripts, and not use
bash scripting features.  move to python (or in this case expect) if
you need anything fancier.

second, input from tty is usually done with more advanced programs
like expect http://expect.nist.gov/

third, with CVS pserver you can usually give the password just the
first time and from then on just run cvs update
