You'll need to use an expect script (Install expect from sunfreeware.com if you don't already have it).<br />
<br />
The script would look like<br />
<br />
#/usr/local/bin/expect<br />
spawn passwd [lindex $argv 0]<br />
expect &quot;New Password:&quot;<br />
send &quot;password\r&quot;<br />
expect &quot;Re0enter new Password:&quot;<br />
send &quot;password\r&quot;<br />
expect eof

Small typo.<br />
<br />
expect &quot;Re0enter new Password:&quot;<br />
<br />
should be<br />
<br />
expect &quot;Re-enter new Password:&quot;
</div>


Small typo.

expect "Re0enter new Password:"

should be

expect "Re-enter new Password:"

I think you missed #! in front of /usr/local/bin/expect in your script. So change it to:<br />
<br />
#!/usr/local/bin/expect<br />

Assign Unix password inside script

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.

System Programming

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
