Input from within shell script

Question

I have a script that calls an application that requires user input, e.g. run app that requires user to type in \'Y\' or \'N\'.
How can I get the shell script not to ask

Answer 1

I prefer this way: If You want multiple inputs... you put in multiple echo statements as so:

 { echo Y; Y; } | sh install.sh >> install.out

In the example above... I am feeding two inputs into the install.sh script. Then... at the end, I am piping the script output to a log file to be archived and viewed for later.
