Subject: Re: Can Ruby interact with the shell sh ?

Thanks to all,

It's working now ...

I'm aware of the dead-lock or unknow things, I'm experimenting with it.

This is because I have to upload some files to an ftp server, but I must 
do it trgough a VPN connection.

I want to start this VPN connection manually, and once connected, fire 
all the file upload.

Thanks, I'm sure I'll have lots of new questions, but now I can go 
further ...

thanks again!

regards,

r.


IO.popen("/bin/sh","r+") do |s|

  s.puts "/usr/local/bin/vpnclient connect xxxxxx user xxxxxx pwd 
xxxxxxxx\n"

  while line = s.gets do
      puts " ** #{line}"
      if line =~ %r{y/n}
          s.puts 'y'
      end
  end

end
