Help!
I am trying to set up an automated shell script to build my backup
root partitions over night. The guts of what I have now is as follows:
# Prepare and make the back-up
/etc/umount ${devname}
/etc/newfs -v ${devname}
/etc/mount -v ${devname} ${bkroot}
/etc/dump 0f - ${root} | (cd ${bkroot} ; /etc/restore xfy -)
This works fine EXCEPT that I can't figure a way to give an automatic answer to
restore's question:
set owner mode for '.' [y/n] ?
I have tried changing the last line to:
(/etc/dump 0f - ${root} ; echo "y" ) | (cd ${bkroot} ; /etc/restore xfy -)
hoping that restore would pick up the "y" from stdin. This doesn't work.
Can anyone suggest a way to give restore an automatic answer ?
