'yes' can be used to feeds a continuous string of the character to another process and create dummy process for learning the process control. Example: $ yes -- Prints `y' followed by a newline until killed. $ yes ILUGC -- Prints `ILUGC' followed by a newline until killed. $ yes `cat myfile` -- Print myfile content until killed. $ yes | fsck /dev/hda1 -- Runs fsck non-interactively. $ yes | rm -r mydir -- Same effect as rm -rf mydir. $ yes > /dev/null & -- Dummy process.
