Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Scrolling through text while interacting with program prompts Post 302751241 by nanlee on Thursday 3rd of January 2013 01:14:01 PM

I'm not exactly sure of how the text is being displayed, whether its from echo, etc. I just know its from the linux End User License Agreement interface that requires the user to scroll through the agreement before being able to get to the prompt to accept the agreement.

I see something like this:

"--(Vendor) EULA-- (0%)[Press space to continue, 'q' to quit.]"

and must press "space" multiple times to scroll through 100% of the agreement text before finally getting to the prompt:

"I have read and accept the terms of the agreement (yes/no): [?]"
