do what i do <Grin>
Make all the actual scripting on the Flavor of your choice , ASP PERL SHell
then pass only the neccessary info <> <><><><> not actuall commands
your script will read from $ARGV[1] $ARGV[2] etc..
and do the job... hmmm maybe its a bit confusing....
ex...
OG server setup ----
word: xxxxx
$ ./script <Login> <PasS> <Phone>
not
$ ./adduser -batch <login> <pass> group etc blah blah /bin/csh
so you get you script like
#!/bin/sh
$Login = $ARGV[0];$Pass = $ARGV[1];$phone = $ARGV[2];
@mycall = "./adduser -silent -batch $Login $Pass $Phone Group /homedir?
/shell? ";
system @mycall;
