Enter text to prompt

Hey there,

I'm trying to automate a build process for Android apps with gulp. Here is the gulp task I have wrapped around shelljs:

gulp.task('jarsign-android', function(callback){
    var command = 'jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore release-key.keystore <path-to-apk> release';
    sh.exec(command, callback);
});

However the jarsigner command asks for the password to the keystore file with a prompt:

Enter Passphrase for keystore:

Is there a way to pipe in commands from the terminal while using the sh.exec command?

Save your passphrase in a file, eg. passkey.txt

Then use the command like this;

var command = 'jarsigner -verbose -sigalg SHA1withRSA -digestalg SHA1 -keystore release-key.keystore <path-to-apk> release < passkey.txt';

Sweet thanks!
