How to Automate this process and track update the status to Excel sheet back which are valid User name and Password combination.
Is there anyway we can automate without opening url in the browser (Kind of headless automation)
You can do all this with shell scripting and no browsers involved. For the
should login to url
you can utilize cURL, since it specifically has a feature to follow redirects (-L / --location), and it's also free.
curl --user user:pass https://example.com/a
For the part with
to Automate this process and track update the status to Excel sheet back
you can use the output from the previous step (the page url) and formatted in a CSV file, like so:
echo "$page_url" > results.csv
After that you could rename into xls and then with Excel, gnumeric, or other programs, it is recognized like xls.
ls -R -ltr / | head -50 | awk '{if ($page_url == *"myURL"*) print "true"}' OFS="," > sample.xls
