yes [string
]
The yes
command prints the
given string (or “y” by default) forever, one string per
line.
$ yes again again again again ...
Though it might seem useless at first glance, yes
can be perfect for turning interactive
commands into batch commands. Want to get rid of an annoying “Are
you SURE you want to do that?” message? Pipe the output of yes
into the input of the command to
answer all those prompts:
$ yes | my_interactive_command
When my_interactive_command
terminates, so will yes
.
