Maybe with expect(1):
NAME
expect - programmed dialogue with interactive programs, Version 5
SYNOPSIS
expect [ -dDinN ] [ -c cmds ] [ [ -[f|b] ] cmdfile ] [ args ]
INTRODUCTION
Expect is a program that "talks" to other interactive programs according to a script. Following the script, Expect knows what can be expected
from a program and what the correct response should be. An interpreted language provides branching and high-level control structures to direct
the dialogue. In addition, the user can take control and interact directly when desired, afterward returning control to the script.
