Tips to launch a silent install
Here's a tips I found trying to do the same as you :
1. Create an answers.txt file with the word y inside
2. Launch fhe following command (assuming you want to install jdk-xx.bin)
./jdk-xx.bin < answers.txt &>/dev/null
The install goes on slient.
Could you tell me if it works also for you ? (Just to be sure that this is not limited to my linux version).
Note : if you want to check if something went wrong you can echo $? (result of the install)
echo $? => 0 (ok)
echo $? => 1 (problem)
