As suggested, I've enlisted the help of Expect.

The Expect program works for the first input (Line Feed) but I"m still getting a problem with the second input.


First Input:

Email address/User Name: <<<Line feed works>>>


Second Input:

Do you wish to remain uninformed of security issues ([Y]es, [N]o) [N]:

<<< The second input return me to the command line.>>>


I'm attaching the bash script for analysis.

Any suggestions?


Here's my expect program.



Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect

spawn /bin/sh  /opt/bsaitmod/oracle/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_2/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp

set ANSWER "Y"

expect "User Name:"

send -- "\r"

expect "uninformed*"

#send "Y\n"


send "$ANSWER\r"

shells(4)							   File Formats 							 shells(4)

NAME

       shells - shell database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shells

DESCRIPTION

       The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
       shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.

       A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by  the  routines
       which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.

       The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
       /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
       /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.

       Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
