I need to run some set of scripts once in a month. For eg i need to
run three scripts 10th of every month. I grouped them into one Master
script file which runs in Kornshell which i can set in cron so that
this master script file will be executed on 10th of every month. But
the subscripts which i have called in the master scripts required
username and password to be supplied.

How can I supply username and password from the Master script itself?
so that the subscripts automatically take the username and password
and complete the task successfully.

for more clarification below is example:

masterfile.ksh

#!/usr/bin/ksh

#To run a sub script

cd /tmp
../subscriptfile1.sh

Need to give the username first and enter... then requires to supply
password. How can i supply the info here?

../subscriptfile2.sh

Need to give the username first and enter... then requires to supply
password. How can i supply the info here?

../subscriptfile3.sh

Need to give the username first and enter... then requires to supply
password. How can i supply the info here?

Thanks in advance for you time and and advise.
