The input attribut passes the string to the invoked executable. In your =
case this is "cmd".
But not your "cmd" needs the passwort, the batchfile does. The cleanest =
way would be using a
"-password" option of the batchfile (if it exist).=20

Otherwise I would try piping inside the cmd ...

<arg line=3D"${password} | batchfile..."/>
