execute a remote scripts, but how to input the prompted msgs

[Hanry Zhou]

I am running the following command:

ssh root@remoteserver:/tmp/remote_script

however, in order to run /tmp/remote_script, I have to answer a few prompted questions(ex, "y"/"n"/"all"), how do I enter the answers from local system that is executing the ssh command?

That link is to a script that shows you how to choose menu items and input data into a script without actually being on keyboard.

Its an example or template, that you can modify.

In actuality it works through a sendmail menu, but the basic scripting concepts you need are in the script.

HI Hanry,

You may want to explore "EXPECT" software also.

It has made my life much simpler.
