How to give password in shell script?

+2
−4

That's my Bash script:

#!bin/sh

cd qpixel
sudo systemctl enable mysql
mysql -u root -p
rails s

When it executes the line mysql -u root -p it will ask for password. To do so, I have tried with echo and print, but none of them works.

How can I input a password?

Related question I found in SO. Answers of SO didn't help me either.

Kinda difficult to know what you want to do based on what you're writing... do you want to get prompted for a password when executing the script? Do you want to echo a password into the command?
