What's the terminal command for auto pressing [Y]?
for ex: if I do like
sudo apt-get upgrade
Then I might get the y/n question before installing an update. What's the parameter to auto accept it.
There are two ways to do this:
Apt-get specific:
$man apt-get
[...]
-y, --yes, --assume-yes
Automatic yes to prompts; assume "yes" as answer to all prompts
and run non-interactively. If an undesirable situation,
such as changing a held package, trying to install a unauthenticated
package or removing an essential package occurs then apt-get will abort.
[...]
--force-yes
Force yes; this is a dangerous option that will cause apt to continue
without prompting if it is doing something potentially harmful.
It should not be used except in very special situations.
Using force-yes can potentially destroy your system!
General: the yes
command:
$man yes
yes - output a string repeatedly until killed [...]
DESCRIPTION
Repeatedly output a line with all specified STRING(s), or 'y'.
Since yes
can't know anything about apt-get
internals, it is probably equivalent to --force-yes
and thus dangerous. If you still want to do it, you pipe the output of yes
into apt-get
:
yes | apt-get update
