Bash shell script calling an external program isn't displaying output to the current terminal

I'm new to shell scripts. I'm making a headless raspberry pi that hacks WiFi networks (for educational purposes) with a program called wifite. The plan is for it to then send an email to with an attachment of the output (not implemented yet).

So this program is interactive so I have to send keyboard input I do that via xdotool. The main issue is that when I try to Ctrl+C after some time it sends the input to the current terminal on screen but wifite runs on the background and I get no output to the terminal.

Now that's fine I do not need onscreen output but I need to be able to send keyboard input to wifite somehow and i think the easiest way to is to force wifite to output to the current terminal so xdotool can send keyboard inputs. Here's the script:

#!/bin/sh
sleep 1m
`sudo wifite --kill | tee output.txt`
sleep 1m
`xdotool key ctrl+c`
`xdotool key Enter`

Let me know if there is anything I can do to make the script better. Perhaps i could use a more effective programs within the script. All help is greatly appreciated.
