manage.py flag to force unattended command?

Question

I am reading this tutorial: Installing and Configuring Graphite and Statsd on an Ubuntu 12.04 VPS

and I am working to automatize everything is possible then there is one step of this tutorial that is giving me crazy:

Next, we will configure the Graphite database. Go to the Graphite webapp directory and run the database script:

cd /opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/
sudo python manage.py syncdb

As you see, we have to run the manage.py and when I run syncdb ask about a creation of superuser. How can I avoid that? I would like to run these sending all parameters to make an automatic script.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can use the --noinput argument to disable those prompts for the syncdb command.

--noinput

Use the --noinput option to suppress all user prompting, such as “Are you sure?” confirmation messages. This is useful if django-admin.py is being executed as an unattended, automated script.
