Issue
In my shell script I am running a command which is asking me for input.
How can I give the command the input it needs automatically?
For example:
$cat test.sh
ssh-copy-id [email protected]
When running test.sh:
First, it will ask:
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?Then, it will ask me to input the password:
[email protected]'s password:
Is there a way to input this automatically?
