Hi All I am trying to come up with a way of automating Soraris packages through my perl script. The problem I am having is that in the middle off the package install I get asked to overwrite a bunch of files. What I am not sure of is how to capture the response and then send an answer. Here is the way I am installing the package: @output = `/usr/sbin/pkgadd -n -d /var/tmp/SomePackage.pkg -R /data/jboss jboss-services`; If I run the command myself, this is what happens. ---------------------------------------------------------- ## Processing package information. ## Processing system information. 1 package pathname is already properly installed. ## Verifying disk space requirements. ## Checking for conflicts with packages already installed. The following files are already installed on the system and are being used by another package: /data/jboss/blah1.xml /data/jboss/blah2.jar /data/jboss/dist/balh4.jar * - conflict with a file which does not belong to any package. Do you want to install these conflicting files [y,n,?,q] __________________________________________________________ Is there a way I can capture this "Do you want to install these conflicting files [y,n,?,q]" and send it a response some how ?
