How to input automatically when running a shell over SSH?

Question

In my shell script I am running a command which is asking me for input.

How can I give the command the input it needs automatically?

For example:

<         


        

Answer 1

There definitely is... Use the spawn, expect, and send commands:

spawn test.sh
expect "Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?"
send "yes"

There are more examples all over Stack Overflow, see: Help with Expect within a bash script

You may need to install these commands first, depending on your system.
