Yes, that is the problem I'm trying to explain since the beginning, I'm
please we have finally agreed on what was the issue :)

I didn't found any other solution than to call the shell like this:
bash <file>

With <file> containing the commands. With that type of call, bash keeps
reading STDIN for user inputs. That's why I've introduced the process
substitution solution
