Re: htpasswd : Batch Conversion

You could write a script to pass the combination to htpasswd.
The usage for htpasswd allows you to put the password on the command
line (see -b):

Usage:
        htpasswd [-cmdps] passwordfile username
        htpasswd -b[cmdps] passwordfile username password

 -c Create a new file.
 -m Force MD5 encryption of the password.
 -d Force CRYPT encryption of the password (default).
 -p Do not encrypt the password (plaintext).
 -s Force SHA encryption of the password.
 -b Use the password from the command line rather than prompting for
it.
On Windows and TPF systems the '-m' flag is used by default.
On all other systems, the '-p' flag will probably not work.
