Nancy's suggestion (using expect) is probably worth exploring.
The mandatory user interactions have been a perennial source of
frustration to me, too.

Why?
well, it's needed, the power infrastructure where is the server have
some several problems now, I hope it can be fixed that soon; and
because of that, I need to set up a rc script in order to shutdown the
services or run up those services while the operating system (linux)
shuts down or boot
Generally expect functionality would probably help with lots of the
startup and installation functions of VistA.
I would suggest however, that you use either the perl or python expect
modules. Especially the python - excpect module would help to ensure
that your code was readable and
There is no reason to start up these VistA processes using some external
script except for Taskman. Once Taskman starts up he can start up whatever
background process you desire. Most, if not all, of these background
processes already have VistA options to be run as scheduled tasks at startup
I think that building utilities around expect is adding unecessary complexity
where you

The good news is that you can expect to have very few such long running
processes.

Most of that is one time setup. The settings are saved in Fileman, so
the next time around, you only need to start Taskman (your D ^ZTMB,
though you can also do it through a menu option, if you wish). Other
options, such as starting the Broker can be designated to start
automatically, if you wish.
Thanks a lot for your help, Greg; now I can start the Taskman in a non
interactive way, now, I need to open the 9260/TCP port, so I do:
GTM D STRT^XWBTCP(9260) ENTER
Start TCP Listener...
Checking if TCP Listener has started...
TCP Listener started successfully.
GTM
and to stop it; I just type:
Can Expect handle something like this?

Why are you wanting to start and stop your system all the time? If
you are planning a stable system, then you will turn it on and leave
it on (i.e. on a server.)

Use Linux's shell scripting capabilities. Something like (don't take
this literally, but use it as the basis for what you should do):
To start:
export gtm_dist=/usr/local/gtm
export gtmgbldir= ...pointer to global directory...
export gtmroutines= ...routine search path...
