I had several solutions that would work: Use mkfs it's non-interactive Use expect newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t8d0s0 < $inputfile (Input file has a "y" in it) newfs /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs0 << EOF y EOF newfs /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs0 << END y END newfs /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs0 < /dev/null echo y | newfs /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxsx (Suggested by plenty and my personal favorite). ----- Forwarded by Doug S Johnson/RCS/Raytheon/US on 10/01/01 05:31 PM ----- "Doug S Johnson" <Doug_S_Johnson@raytheon.com> Sent by: sunmanagers-admin@sunmanagers.org 09/28/01 01:05 PM To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org cc: Subject: newfs I need to write a script which performs a newfs on several filesystems..how do I answer "y" to the question below within the script??
