Handling input confirmations in Linux shell scripting
Question
I'm writing a Linux Shell Script to automate a few things I'm doing on Ubuntu 11.04.
Basically, I'm writing a shell script to install NGINX, MySQL, and PHP, and then configure everything. I know how to do everything via the command-line.
However, I don't know how I'm going to handle the parts where the process asks for user input. For example, certain things I install with apt-get ask you for a confirmation i.e. (Y)es or (N)o.
How exactly would I handle auto-confirmation in the shell script i.e. to automatically confirm Yes or No when asked?
No correct solution
