I an writing a simple script that will start a program
but the first thing the program does is ask for a source database.
I am trying to figure out how to tell the script to wait till the program loads before it fills in the path to the database.
so far this is what i have:
'dxfout'
'/users/cx/*****/'
(where 'dxfout' is the program I am trying to run and "/users/cx/*****/' is the Input database I normally type in by hand.)
As I stated in the topic I am new to UNIX scripting and actually I am using HP-UX if it matters.
Thank you all in advance for any help you can give.
