Use SU without interrupt

[rexxcode]

Hi.

I need to run a shell in a script after changing user/password by using su, but not 'su - <user>' but something like 'su - <user>+<password>' because a secure-certificate is built with user+password.

An idea ?

I see it but no usefull answer.

My Os is Unix System Services (Open MVS Edition), an Unix thru MVS (ZOs mainframe).
I'm calling a shell USS from a rexx MVS by using BPXBATCH but before I need to change user silently without interrupt.
The shell is bash.

I'm calling su by call bpxwunix "su - <user>"

Is su accepting an argument ?

Perhaps you can use Expect?
Or for something like this I would probably use the pexpect module for Python

http://pexpect.sourceforge.net/

&quot;If you always do what you've always done, you will always be where you've always been.&quot;

Thank you for advising pexpect.

I don't have expect with bash.
I will try to install it. Do you have a good example ?
