Alex,
Try using 'expect'.
Homepage: http://expect.nist.gov/
It's designed for exactly the purpose you have in mind: trapping responses
from programs that normally operate interactively and don't easily lend
themselves
to automation.
Expect is also available as a Perl module.

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
I beleave I asked this question already but did not get any answers.
If I run export from cron and somehow userid is incorrect or dump file name
is incorrect ( let say somebody renamed directory) - process of export is
stopped. Is it possible to catch this situation in the same script that
called export and if not - how to catch it?
