I am trying to automate the install of the ati driver package. Basically all I do is hit return about 6 times and take all the defaults.
I tried to do this in a file that I then made executable with 744:
sh ati-driver-installer-10-8-x86.x86_64.run << EOF
EOF
but then it starts like its doing something but never does anything.
How might I automate such an install script. Again all I do is hit return 6 times and accept all the defaults.
Thanks,
Jerry

Might I suggest expect: http://oreilly.com/catalog/expect/chapter/ch03.html

Is expect and send not part of CentOS?
on my x86_64 5.5 I do "whereis expect" and its not found. I do a "man bash" an its not there.
I wrote the little script: spawn sh ati-driver-installer-10-8-x86.x86_64.run expect "RedHat Linux" send "\r" expect "Install Driver" send "\r" expect "RedHat Linux" send "\r" expect "License Agreement" send "\r" expect "Do you agree" send "\r" expect "Recommended" send "\r"
and I get: ./tt.sh: line 1: spawn: command not found ./tt.sh: line 2: expect: command not found ./tt.sh: line 3: send: command not found ./tt.sh: line 4: expect: command not found ./tt.sh: line 5: send: command not found ./tt.sh: line 6: expect: command not found ./tt.sh: line 7: send: command not found ./tt.sh: line 8: expect: command not found ./tt.sh: line 9: send: command not found ./tt.sh: line 10: expect: command not found ./tt.sh: line 11: send: command not found ./tt.sh: line 12: expect: command not found ./tt.sh: line 13: send: command not found

Using which to check only works if you have it installed. You might consider using yum's provides feature since you appear to not have it already.

Jim,
Thanks - I did the 'yum provides "*/expect"' and found the expect package. Did the install. However the spawn and send commands dont seem to be part of that package. Doing a yum provides on each gives me nothing.
I think the three commands are needed spawn,send and expect.
Am I missing something else?
Thanks so much,
Jerry

Why not try the autoexpect command? The man page says: generate an Expect script from watching a session
