Just use a redirect: echo "$PASSWORD" | cryptsetup -y create private /dev/sda5 or: cryptsetup -y create private /dev/sda5 </path/to/file-containing-password or even: cryptsetup -y create private /dev/sda5 <<EOF $PASSWORD EOF If the command needs multiple inputs, just put them on separate lines. But looking at the partman-crypto component which uses the same command, it looks like there is a -d option to cryptsetup to pass a password on the command line... (See /lib/partman/lib/crypto-base.sh from a running instance of the installer.) Cheers, FJP Dear Frans, thanks for your help. That is what I need. I will also check partman component in order to see what you say. On the other hand, I have a little doubt about setting a variable with a value executed on target system: Could you please tell me if the following command is right? DEVICE = `in-target /usr/bin/mawk '$2 ~ "/var/lib/postgres"' /etc/fstab` This variable is neccesary to set the device where cryptsetup is going to be execute. Is it possible to set a variable using in-target? Best Regards Antonio Araujo -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
