When you login by your phone number, you can set password for that phone number using telegram cli command set_password <hint>. After pressing enter it will ask for new password:, Also after entering pass and press enter it will ask for retype new password: and after filling that password will set.

Overview: 

$ Execute ./telegram-cli for specific profile
....//Initializing  
>set_password hint
new password: xxx
retype new password: xxx
>quit
$

Now I want to write a bash script to do the job but the problem is prompts. I tried something like below with no success: 

#!/bin sh
./telegram-cli command for specific profile << EOF
set_password hint
#What do I have to do to enter password after prompt?

As you know because I am in telegram cli command mode there is no commands like sleep, read or something else.
Tell me if more information needed.
Thanks in advance

  • @ScottMermelstein thanks but I'm looking for a way without expect, is it possible? – Hossein Shahsahebi Jan 07 '16 at 20:36

    In my experience, no. You can write your own C program and execute it in bash, telling it what to look for and what to respond, but that's basically what `expect` does for you. – Scott Mermelstein Jan 07 '16 at 20:38

  • There is a way to do it by PHP with `proc_open` function, but for doing it in bash maybe the `Expect` is an answer – Hossein Shahsahebi Jan 09 '16 at 06:42
