Hi,
Sorry for the little bit off-topic.
I have a script that has to performe a hash over a password. Problem is that sha512sum expects CTRL-D to be pressed to return to the command prompt.
I've searched all over Google, but either I didn't do the right search or there is nothing relevant about this.
Bottom line is that I need this command to print the password hash and returns to the shell automatically:
$ sha512sum | xargs echo "password" | cut -f2 -d' '
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards, Mário Gamito
