Runtime input
Hi all..

I have a command for example /abc/def/ghi.jkl Filename filename1.

If I run this command, it will ask for y/N which I have to type manually.

Now Im trying to automate it using shell script and input the y option.

Please help me on doing this.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried just using echo? e.g. echo y | yourscript.sh. Or yes.

Thanks a lot CarloM..That didnt work :-(

Your option will also not work in my case disedorgue.

Let me explain it again..

I have a script which will zip a xml file and encrypt the file using PGP encryption. While encrypting, it is asking me to type a y/N to proceed. In this case I have to input a y manually and enter to continue.

However I need a way to pass the y automatically and continue. Please help me with this.

Hi,
If you use pgp command, you can configure certainly in config.txt of your environment.
