Hi, I want to be able to run some interactive scripts and programs from a script. How can I do that. For example: the XFree86 port. It requires that you answer some questions before it installs. What I would like is to be able to start a script and walk away from the computer. The script will run make and answer any questions (the answers to the questions will already be somewhere in my script) that the installation script asks. So, when I come back a few hours later XFree86 is compiled and ready to go. I'm sure there must be some answer to this. I just haven't figured it out yet.
