Suplying stdin input within script
HTML Code:
Hi ,
 
 I have script in that , i uninstall rpm using rpm -ef $rc1   

now my query is rpm -ef is asking user input DO YOU Want To continue (YES/NO) for each uninstalltion.

now i want to supply YES variable when it asks for above statement .

 so that i dont have to give user input from keyboard , it should proceed by taking yes .


Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance
