Shell script to log into a particular site I need to login to the Internet Access Portal of our college to get access to the Internet. (Cyberoam) I need to keep this window opened all the time. The address is http://192.168.0.1:8090/httpclient.html I need to enter the username and password there to login. I'm new to scripting. I need help make a script which: 1. Opens Lynx 2. Goes to: http://192.168.0.1:8090/httpclient.html 3. Automatically enters my username and password 4. Keeps me logged in I need to do this because it is a pain to log in manually each time. If my browser needs updating, it won't update as I don't have internet access yet. Answer Use curl to post your username and password. curl --data "login=userid&pass=password" http://192.168.0.1:8090/httpclient.html EDIT: I am assuming your college is using Cyberoam. In this case you need to keep open a window with login portal. then for using lynx Code: echo "login=userid&pass=password\n--\n" | lynx -post_data http://192.168.0.1:8090/httpclient.html should work. EDIT: This answer may be useful for your case as well. EDIT: Comeup with an another answer that may help you, since other didn't worked for you. I used curl with lynx for this one. Code: curl -d "login=userid&pass=password" http://192.168.0.1:8090/httpclient.html | lynx -stdin Even after this if you see a login window then refresh the page and there will be no login window. I have tried this for many sites and this worked for all. 192 168 254 8090 httpclient Definition: The IP address 192.168.1.254 is the default for certain home broadband routers and broadband modems, including: Some 3Com OfficeConnect routers Netopia / Cayman Internet gateways Billion ADSL routers Linksys SRW2024 managed switches Westell modems for Bellsouth / AT&T DSL Internet service in the U.S. This address is set by the manufacturer at the factory, but you can change it at any time using the vendor's console management software.
