Hi All, Is there a way to pass values to unix app and get results from the app? I don't know how to paste a screenshot of what i am working? Please let me know, how to pass values and get results from the unix app. the app displays the results on the screen, i am not sure how to get those values and pass values. The app gives options to select and i want to pass values accordingly to select the options. Please assist. Is there a way i could do this. I am using an tool provided by CA Siteminder, which is called XPSExplorer. This app gives output to select options, in short, it pretty much like a human interface. All i want to do is to automate this tool, by calling the tool through perl and create a app. Is it possible to pass values to this app and retrieve the results form this app.
