Programming that is never easy. If what you need is simulating console interaction, you will need to get Expect. Expect allows you to program/emulate user interaction in a text console, based on the Tool Command Language (a.k.a. Tcl). But there are alternatives : start a SSH daemon written as a shell script. (you just have to enter your login/pass once, then call the daemon to execute some commands) IMHO, Expect is by far the cleanest way.
