    If the input is being read from stdin, you could do this;

    useradd <<EOF
    first input
    second input
    EOF
    

    Some programs, however, do not read from stdin precisely to stop this kind of thing.

    Edit

    As remarked upon, this is called a “HERE document”, in case you want to look it up.
