If you're being prompted to enter a password, you can use Expect to have
scripts 'type' the password in when prompted. Expect will allow you to
send/receive keystrokes to a program as if there were someone sitting at
the keyboard. It normally ships with Tcl, but I much prefer Perl's
Expect module.

There's an O'Reilly book, Exploring Expect, that will get you started.
ISBN 1-56592-090-2

However, it's easier to setup the public/private keys than to learn
Expect.
