hi all,

i am new to UNIX. this is my first time using Ubuntu. i need to do this for my fyp.

i am using an artificial neural network model to predict the yield strength of steel. the shell script used to execute this model is as shown here:

when i run the program this is what shows:

i need to get rid of the disclaimer and i dont want the computer to ask to press return to continue or agree or ask display results. i just want it to run the program and give the results automatically. how shd i modify the attached file to achieve this? when i run the program it shd just show the following.

Can anyone help me modify the program to do this?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
