[p4] Scripting and ticket authentication

[Nathan_Tran@trendmicro.com]

You can echo the password to a temp password file and have the p4 login
command read in the password from temp file like so:

echo mypassword>passwd.txt
p4 login <passwd.txt

For windows, there shouldn't be a space between the password that is
being echoed and the redirection, otherwise the white space will show up
in the passwd.txt file and produce an invalid password.

I know this has been asked before but I cant seem to find it.

Is there a way to get around the prompt for windows and unix scripts
that need to do a p4 login?

It would be nice if I could supply a password in the script to obtain a
ticket.

Thanks
