Hi Agnello,
You can try the following,
apt-get install package-name << END
y
END
if there are more packages you can put them in a loop,
for package in package1 package2 package3 ...
do
apt-get install $package << END
y
END
done
Also you can see the help, "apt-get --help" for some built-in way where you
can force it for non-interactive installation.

I am trying to write a really simple script to install postfix. my
script
begins like this :
#!/bin/sh
echo "this is a script tp install postfix for virtual domains "
apt-get install postfix-mysql
apt-get install mutt
apt-get install telnet
apt get install mysql-common mysql-client mysql-server libmysqlclient15-dev
sysv-rc-conf
apt-get instal openssl
apt-get install libsasl2 libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql
libauthen-sasl-cyrus-perl libauthen-sasl-perl
apt-get install courier-base courier-authlib-mysql courier-ssl courier-pop
sysv-rc-conf --level 235 mysqld on
sysv-rc-conf --level 235 postfix on
apt-get install apache2
apt-get install vim
..... and so on
but as soon as the scipt executes it tries to install postfix-mysql , the
apt-get progam asks the question " Do you want to continue [Y/n]? "
i have to keep pressing " y " ...... what do i put in my script that will
automate this , without asking me the question " Do you want to continue
[Y/n]?"
Thanks for all the help!!
