I am in need of figuring out how to pass a "yes" followed by a carriage
return via a bash script so a backup process can run successfully each day.

 

The script does the following:

 

1) ssh to RaQ server as root

2) run cmuExport

3) copies contents of export to NAS device

 

Since cmuExport has been run before a prompt stating the directory the file
is written to already exists, do I want to overwrite is returned.  The only
way to get past this point is to enter "y" then press ENTER at the prompt.
This is what I am attempting to automate.

 

Thank you for any help offered!
