auto entering passwords in scripts

[neuron]

echo password | losetup -e aes /dev/loop/6 /mnt/storage/backup.enc

I used that before, which worked, but now that asks for a password.

note that the script to do it is stored on an encrypted drive, so I feel the security of that password is more than enough (atleast considering what it's backing up).

any suggestions?

'expect' scripts can be used for this purpose I think.
