Automatic equo responses?

[dizwell]

I hope this isn't a RTFM question, but I am wondering if there is a way to suppress interactivity when doing work with equo?

Specifically, when I do

Code: Select all

equo install rpm ksh

, I am prompted to accept or to reject licenses. I would like option 2 or 3 to be automatically assumed, if possible (I realise both options involve saying you've read the license, and that this would not be true if the response was automated!)

Similarly, when I do

Code: Select all

equo conf update

, I'd like the option to auto-merge everything to be assumed to be the response without it actually prompting me. Is there a way to do that?

I have read the man page for equo, but the --quiet option doesn't seem to suppress this sort of interactivity and I can't see a reference to any switches that might. If it's not do-able, that's fine too: I can try bash script ways of piping a response when needed, but I thought I should find out if the functionality is there or not first. (eg, I know I could for example do

Code: Select all

yes "3"|equo install rpm ksh

)

I can't test it right now, but can you try if an alias would work?
as root, edit .bashrc in /root folder:

Code: Select all

alias equo install='yes "3" | equo install'

for example...
and if it does work, you can probably do the same with "equo conf update"

So, you're saying there's no built-in functionality to do this, I guess.

Unfortunately, whilst:

Code: Select all

yes "3" | equo install rpm ksh

...works fine, the same technique doesn't work for equo conf update. The required option there is "-5" (i.e., merge everything without asking), and if I do:

Code: Select all

yes "-5" | equo conf update

...I get an error message that "5" is not a valid answer. Somehow, the minus sign in front of the required response is getting lost. I haven't worked out how to do this yet.
