Automaic command enter

[Dave Moore]

I'm trying to use ruby to write a system admin script.

I have a bash scripted called ask, which prompts me
for a passcode.

What is the passcode: <enter here and hit ENTER>

I would like to have ruby to do the above for me automatically,
so in my script I have

#!/usr/bin/ruby -w
`ask`

Now how do I make ruby to enter the passcode without my interaction?

TIA!
