Question

Im trying to use expect to auto accept an EULA that is prompted in –more–.

#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn "./greenplum-perfmon-web-4.1.2.0-build-2-RHEL5-x86_64.bin"
expect "--More--"
send "q"
expect "*****"
send "yes"
expect "*****"
send ""
expect "*****"
send "yes"

This does not work and Im not sure why. The script always halts at the –More– prompt and the second I click ANYTHING it instantly processess the rest of the script.

I have tried with

expect -exact "--More--"

and

expect "the Customer"
(what is written above the --More--)

Answer 1

Try setting $MORE to something like -99999999 so that the more prompt never shows up.
