#passwd -e
Current Shell : /bin/ksh
New Shell : | (cursor)
My question is, can I bind some scripts in /etc/rc3.d/ that can answer the cursor part with a pre-written line of command?
I've tried passwd -e ; /sbin/sh and obviously failed.
I know this is a stupid question but it got me wondering.

You want your legacy service startup scripts to pre-populate a text field in something that is not a service? (Something tells meexpectcould be useful, but not in yourrc*.ddirectories)

It looks as if you're looking at possibly implementing the same functionality aschshfrom other Unix systems. Is that correct?

Maybe you can use usermod instead of passwd.
