The host I'm using has a little built in system to auto ask the user (no matter what) if they want to overwrite (y/n) the file they're trying to save or archive/compress in this case. So every time I run my script is asks me a question. I need the script to run as a Cronjob at a ridiculous time in the morning by itself. So I'm trying to force the 'yes' down its throat, but I don't know how. Here's my current compression line: DATE=`date +%m-%d-%Y`; ARCHIVED="Gunks_Ads-$DATE.tar.bz2"; tar cjf ../backups/$ARCHIVED ../backups/Gunks_Ads.txt; So...how do I stuff a 'yes' down its throat after the last command above? ~ Matthew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
