HI,
If you want the same answer to all questions for a particular command,
there is an amazing little utility by the name of "yes"
By default it echos an endless stream of y characters. If you pass it
anything as an argument, then that is what is echoed endlessly instead.
You can almost certainly find it in /usr/bin/yes. Just pipe the output
to the command that you want the responses for. As has already been
pointed out, if the answer varies for any given command, you should
probably use "expect".
