i'm attempting to write a bash script to automate a sublaunched apps'
interactive dialog.
fwiw, the app in question is gpg, in its key-revocation mode.
the 1st, simple task is to auto-respond to its 1st interactive
question with a 'Yes'; subsequent questions -- there are several --
will require different answers.
my bash script,
% vi test.sh
------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
GPG="sudo -u me /usr/local/bin/gpg"
ME="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
CMD="$GPG --output revoke.txt --gen-revoke $ME"
/usr/bin/expect -c "\
spawn `$CMD`;\
stty -echo;\
expect 'Create a revocation certificate for this key? (y/N) ';\
send 'y\n'"
------------------------------------
@,
% ./test.sh
correctly launch GPG, and invokes its key revocation session,
-----------------------------
sec 1024D/XXXXXXXX 2004-07-07 Me (Me) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Create a revocation certificate for this key? (y/N)
-----------------------------
but it just _sits_ there. no response is passed/accepted. :-/
i've tried playing with piping 'cat ... |' and 'echo ... |', as well
as 'yes y | ...', all with no luck.
how do i get that 'yes' response passed to gpg?
thanks.
