Different versions on unix work differently. And even with a particular version of unix, fsck may have varying options depending on the type of filesystem. HP-UX has a -f provided that you are checking a ufs filesystem and it forces a check of a mounted filesystem. I would not use that in conjunction with a -y under any circumstances.
You need to start at the beginning here. What version of unix? What type of filesystem? What symptoms are you seeing?

fsck.xfs
fsck.xfs(8) System Manager's Manual fsck.xfs(8)
NAME
fsck.xfs - do nothing, successfully
SYNOPSIS
fsck.xfs [ filesys ... ]
DESCRIPTION
fsck.xfs is called by the generic Linux fsck(8) program at startup to check and repair an XFS filesystem. XFS is a journaling filesystem
and performs recovery at mount(8) time if necessary, so fsck.xfs simply exits with a zero exit status.
If you wish to check the consistency of an XFS filesystem, or repair a damaged or corrupt XFS filesystem, see xfs_check(8) and
xfs_repair(8).
FILES
/etc/fstab.
SEE ALSO
fsck(8), fstab(5), xfs(5), xfs_check(8), xfs_repair(8).
