Recently I started building my own
LFS, I was pretty amused by the command yes
.
However, today I found a use for that command, when I had to install a binary
firmware on multiple servers. The binary is not editable and expects two
times 'yes' to finish the process.
So, the solution is to run on all the computers the following command
inside a loop:
yes | sh binary\_firmware.exe
Also, this is a simple example a of parallel programming and pipes.
This little trick saved me quite some typing and waiting in front of the computer !
