Interact with the console in Linux

[Hoqenishy]

Hi, folks - I've got a quick question that hopefully has an easy resolution... how can I pass commands to the console in Linux from a C# app? It's fairly easy to do in Windows from C#, but nothing I try in Mono seems to do the trick. I'm trying to automate password synchronization between Samba, passwd, and some database applications, and it would be REALLY handy if I could manage to do it with a C# app.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

I use following script for password samba/ldap password change:

$ cat chpass
#! /bin/sh

    {
    echo "$2"
    echo "$2"
    } | /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd "$1"


here is no magic, just call that chpass with <username> <password> arguments...
