Unattended Install-root password Posted by anil (anil), 27 November 2007 Hi Friends, I have created a script for unattended install. There is a patch at the end of the script to be installed. This patch requires user to type in username root and its password and confirm the password. Is there a way I can do it or what is best way of doing it. If I pass the password as argument to script (prefered way as it will not save password in file), still how do I get in script so when it prompts it will automatically assign root and its password. Any help/support appreciated. Cheers Anil Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 27 November 2007 Passwording is usually designed to be difficult to automate for security reasons (antohack program prevention for example) and uses /dev/tty rather than stdin. The bast way around it is to use expect.This page is a thread posted to the opentalk forum
