Displaying the Partitions & File-System

Hello all,

I intend to write a shell script that will display the partitions & the respective file-systems. So I am planning to write a Shell Script as given below:

#!/bin/bash
fdisk /dev/sda

But My problem is that when I execute the above script, I am required to enter the "p" manually to display the partition table How can I automate that so that I don't need to enter "p" manually.

fdisk already does what you want with the -l option (man fdisk):

fdisk -l /dev/sda

If you pipe the output to a file, you can parse it with sed and awk.
