Hi,

>sleep 1
>echo "info"
>sleep 6
>echo "abc123"


How about increasing the first sleep to 4 or 5 and after the user name to reduce the sleep value to 1 or 2 - as below:

sleep 5
echo "info"
sleep 1
echo "abc123"

Hi,

For this kind of thing you'd do much better to use expect rather than try and create a shell script for it:

Note all the run time dependencies you also need to install.
