[Solved] Running scripts in parallel that issue prompt
Hi all - I am totally stuck here :wall
I have been asked to write a shell script that does a few little things and then reads from a config file and kicks off an instance of another script, say scriptB.ksh for each line in the config file. These should all be run in parallel. This is all fine but scriptB.ksh prompts the user to confirm they want to proceed. I thought I had this handled with a here document but the problem is the instances of scriptB.ksh don't run in parallel then anymore. I do not own scriptB.ksh, its a shared script, I cannot change it, I cannot clone it...bottom line I have to work with it somehow.
Here is (one version!) what I have so far though I have experimented with moving the & around etc:
Would really appreciate any help - I am so long looking at it now I can't see any fresh leads!

times(1) User Commands times(1)NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell
SYNOPSIS
sh
times
ksh
times
DESCRIPTION
sh
Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell.
ksh
Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not
performed.
