I'm trying to write a script the simplifies the execution of a program:
After starting the program (sh ~/.mfix/model/make_mfix) I am prompted four times for options:
Do you need SMP version? (y/n) [no]
Do you need DMP version? (y/n) [no]
Do you need debug version? (y/n) [no]
Force re-compilation of source files in run directory? (y/n) [no]
If I don't use the script, I simply hit the enter key four times (because the default setting is correct). After that, I am prompted once more:
Select the compiler to compile MFIX? [1]
This time I'd actually like to change the value to 11 (because the default setting is incorrect), followed by a return.
My poor attempt can be seen below:
#!/bin/bash
sh ~/.mfix/model/make_mfix
echo 11
I have no idea how to script "returns," or if it's even possible given that the script probably doesn't want to continue until the first line has been fully executed.
Any ideas guys? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
