What you would like to do is probably better done using expect.

If you want to do it programatically from a C program, you might
like to use pipes (?). Infact, expect comes with a library called
libexpect which can be used from C programs.

Take a look at man expect(1), libexpect(3), popen(3) etc.

Hope this helps,
Giridhar
