I would enjoy the following feature : User could specify that one or more parameter should be read from stdin instead of config file or environment variable. One special value should be set to mean "stdin" as value example : Password=- or Password=__STDIN__ If one parameter value is set to that special value, wvdial stops, reads (waits) the value from stdin, then continue. It would be used mainly for the value of the password (but should be easily generic for all parameters), because some people have to use some passwords generated with some kind of calculator, and these password have a very limited lifetime (shorter than the time needed for the modem to dial...) Thank you very much if you decide to do it :-) Reproducible: Always Actual Results: Username and password are filled automagically by wvdial Expected Results: any parameter can be read from standard input. example with password : When the password prompt is detected, read a value from standard input and use that value.
please post this to wvdial developers, we just maintain the ebuilds for the app ;)
