Exactly as you describe, with the indirection (<) operator:



/path/to/executable < /path/to/inputfile

    To redirect from stdin, you don't use < you use |. For example (apologies for the useless use of cat)



    cat /some/file | my_program


    If your "stored /etc/passwd file" resides in a variable, and you are not tied to /bin/sh, you can use the <<< redirection



    my_program <<< "$my_variable"
