Hello All,

I am trying to prepare a TACL script which will call an OSS script.
But, That OSS script asks for consent (Y/N) to run. So how I can give the consent "Y" automatically from the script?

I am using the below command:

osh /jobid 1/-osstty -c "sh /home/xxxxxx.mgr/soapservices/xxx/conf/restart"

This is, asking for Y/N to run. I want to give Y automatically without human intervention. As it will run from Netbatch.

Can anyone help on this please.

Thanks,
Indranil

As with most anything, there are lots of ways. Red's idea works. You could also create a text file (OSS or Guardian) with a single line in it with a 'Y'.

Then:

osh /jobid 1/-osstty -c "sh /home/xxxxxx.mgr/soapservices/xxx/conf/restart" </path/to/yesfile.txt
or
osh /jobid 1/-osstty -c "sh /home/xxxxxx.mgr/soapservices/xxx/conf/restart" </G/vol/subvolyesfile

Oh, definitely, Bill. I was just trying to avoid a temp file that would
need be cleaned up later.

osh / ... / -c "echo y | sh /home/..../restart"

There is an error in this code. Correct is:

osh / ... / -c "echo y ~| sh /home/.../restart"

The ~ is needed to escape the pipe symbol, which
is a TACL metacharacter.

Hello Sir,

I have used the both the below commands:

osh /jobid 1/-osstty -c "sh /home/xxxxxx.mgr/soapservices/xxx/conf/restart" </G/vol/subvol/yesfile
osh / ... / -c "echo y ~| sh /home/.../restart"

it is working for other files but for restart it is throwing the below error:

Do you wish to continue? (y/[n]): httpd: (#216) configuration script 'httpd.config' failed
not a tty
child process exited abnormally

It only stops the pathmon $PQRS but, does not start that. Throwing the above error.
Please suggest.

Thanks,
Indranil

OK, it looks like it's trying to read directly from the terminal, not
from standard input. You may need to use the temp file, and use the
/TERM xxx/ option to the OSH command.

OK, it looks like it's trying to read directly from the terminal, not
from standard input. You may need to use the temp file, and use the
/TERM xxx/ option to the OSH command.

My memory might be wrong, but I believe that TERM only accepts real terminals, pseudo-terminals (like telnet creates), and processes. I believe it won't accept a disk file.

An alternate to try, if TERM with a disk file does not work, would be to write a program that opens its $RECEIVE file, reads from it, looking for a prompt, and replying with the text to be sent to the program whose action you are trying to automate. I
believe you can find an example of such a program in the Guardian Programming manual. It is not a very difficult program to create for someone moderately experienced with server programming, but there are some details that you need to know, which that
manual should explain -- particularly how to make the process receive the DEVICEINFO message and respond to it in the way to make it masquerade as a terminal.

When you have such a program working, you would run it as a named process before trying to run the restart, and give that process name as the name following TERM.
