Shell Programming and Scripting

I am executing a shell script which contains a jar call to an external java package for which I don’t have a read access to. The external package was written in such a way that whenever we make a java –jar call to the package, it shows a prompt on the console asking if we want to continue or no (Y/N).

My requirement is to override this prompt so that there won’t be any interruption in between. Problem here is that it’s a third party jar package and I can’t(must not) edit the java code to remove the prompt.
I want to know if there any such functionality or a round about approach in Unix Shell Scripting so that I can pass the value Y in the call itself or don’t want the prompt to be displayed at all.

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

We were able to resolve this.

the jar call was made like,

Code:

 
java -jar xyz.jar

Now it was changed to,

Code:

echo y | java -jar xyz.jar

It works like charm.

Thanks.
