Hello All,

Im new to linux and this is my first post...

Im working on ubuntu and i need to install glassfish on my machine often. I want to write a script which can automate this installation and the post installation work so that I can run this script when i leave office and have everything done by the time I reach office the next day.

But after running the installation command there will be a license agreement which i need to accept by typing "A" at the console. Now How I can automate this so that the scipt can take this from a txt file? Please help.....


mv /home/liferay-portal-glassfish-linux-5.2.3.jar /opt/argon/
cd /opt/argon
java -Xmx256m -jar liferay-portal-glassfish-linux-5.2.3.jar

<Here The console expects to type "A" accepting the lisence agreement>

cd glassfish
chmod -R +x lib/ant/bin
......
....

Try

(
and read

man yes
).

This may or may not work - depending how the Java part is implemented, but in the simplest/luckiest for you case it will work.

Works Charmingly....... Thank u.......

But lets say my script expects a username and password to type in then how to automate their typing?

For example I need to make a VPN connection and I write a script as following to automate this

cd
cd Desktop/oncology_project/vpnclient/
sudo ./vpnclient_init start

<Here the SUDO expects the root password to be typed>

sudo ./vpnclient connect USONCOLOGY-VPN

<Here the username and password for the vpn connection has to be typed>

How to Automate this Whole process? I have heard of the "expect" command but how to use it in this situation...???? Pls help
