Issue
I work with Amazon Linux instances and I have a couple scripts to populate data and install all the programs I work with, but a couple of the programs ask:
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
and pause the install. I want to auto answer "Y" in all cases, I'm just now sure how to do it.
Solution
The 'yes' command will echo 'y' (or whatever you ask it to) indefinitely. Use it as:
yes | command-that-asks-for-input
or, if a capital 'Y' is required:
yes Y | command-that-asks-for-input
If you want to pass 'N' you can still use yes:
yes N | command-that-asks-for-input
