[olug] password change one liner shell script

Use expect.   Works really well.

Subject: [olug] password change one liner shell script


I want to set a user password all in one line, not by interactive prompt.
(bash shell script)

passwd username | sleep 1s && echo $passwordvariable |  echo
$passwordvariable

Something like that, but that actually works and enters the password twice.

any ideas?
