Linux script help!!!!

[Wahero]

Can anyone help me in following problem :

I am using openssl to generate req and sign the cert.

./CA -newreq
./CA -sign
in above script I must enter many input parameters , like PEM,CN,State,city,and Common name...

The problem was that I must generate many req and sign the certs .
I want to write a batch script to do the job more qucikly.
The input parameter I will store it in a file , just like:

IP:192.33.88.1 CN:item1
IP:192.33.88.2 CN:item2
IP:192.33.88.3 CN:item3

then read them in the script , and process the req generate and sign action.

May anyone give me some sample . Thanks a lot.

Presuming your input file contains something like this:

[tt]one:two:three with spaces
four:five with spaces:six[/tt]

You could use something salong the lines of:

[tt]#!/bin/bash

IFS=:
cat inputfile | (
while read ONE TWO THREE
do
(
echo "$ONE"
echo "$TWO"
echo "$THREE"
) | CA -sign
done
)[/tt]

This presumes that CA accepts these prompts from standard input. I use an inter-field separator (IFS) of ":" so that any fields with spaces in them are treated as one field. Annihilannic.
