I need to make a .sh script file for VNC install in centos server 4.1.1. Which will automate my work for installing VNC server.i made this primary file & it works but i stuck at coding the allow installation Y/N, display configs and edit/commenting values inputs.

Code:

wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/co308vee1im1pkb/vnc.sh
chmod -R 777 vnc.sh
./vnc.sh

But i need to impliment those too :

after each install: a YES(Y) input.
after command "sudo nano /etc/sysconfig/vncservers" a input
[VNCSERVERS="1:root" VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1324x700"] and save & exit.
after command:"nano .vnc/xstartup" a '#' comment in 28th line and save & exit.

how to do those ? any advice appreciated

Please first read and understand the implications of the [CentOS-announce] CentOS-4 i386 and x86_64 End of Life (EOL). Also you should choose not to expose services on vulnerable installations let alone let them be accessed using plain text auth: instead tunnel over SSH with pubkey auth.

Please see 'man yum' as it allows you to have multiple packages at the command line and it has a "-y" switch.

Either use Puppet or equivalent or make a backup and use 'sed -i'.
