Is there a way for it to prompt for the password and then report the results in a csv file?

Do you want to write your love essay? All people have their unique understanding of the most serious human emotion they face each day because love is a mysterious or infinite universe. This topic is worthy of being admired or investigated. If you decide to write your essay about family love or similar subjects, you don’t have to be experienced in love affairs. Each person has something to say about this strong feeling.

Hello, I want to thank you for sharing this interesting information. This sample script will be helpful for my the best teacher i ever had. Thanks a lot.

the script has a mistake when starting the service it checking it's $changestatus instead of $startstatus and may give wrong data
