Question

I am writing a bash script that is supposed to do some confirmation and also install software. First step of the installation process is that I am being asked to confirm the EULA and type ‘yes’. Is there a way to get the ‘yes’ in there from the bash script?

Answer 1

The command yes outputs a never-ending stream of a specified string, or y if unspecified.

$ yes | head
y
y
y
y
y
y
y
y
y
y
$ yes yes | ./interactive-installer  # something like this?
