I am executing a shell script which contains a jar call to an external java package for which I don�t have a read access to. The external package was written in such a way that whenever we make a java �jar call to the package, it shows a prompt on the console asking if we want to continue or no (Y/N).
My requirement is to override this prompt so that there won�t be any interruption in between. Problem here is that it�s a third party jar package and I can�t(must not) edit the java code to remove the prompt.
I want to know if there any such functionality or a round about approach in Unix Shell Scripting so that I can pass the value Y in the call itself or don�t want the prompt to be displayed at all.
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
We were able to resolve this.
the jar call was made like,
java -jar xyz.jar
Now it was changed to,
echo y | java -jar xyz.jar
It works like charm.
Thanks.
