Hi,
Useful sugestions from
Mark Hargrave, Marian Dragomir and Reggie Beavers.
use vxrestore -rf (requires some care and may not be
applicable in every case but I'll try it)
insert an additional entry into the brackets ie
gunzip --stdout file.gz | (cd dest_dir; vxrestore -xf -
; /usr/bin/echo "y")
and use HERE structure
command << END
y
END
I'll fool around with these options and see what works
best for my specific situation.
Cheers

I'm sure this is FAQable but can't find it and can't
download the FAQ right now (firewall block on ftp).
I want to automate a load of parallel restores of
compressed vxdumps.
The basic command is something like
gunzip --stdout whatever.gz | (cd whereever; vxrestore -
xf -)
Easy enough until it gets to answering that annoying
"set owner/mode for "." "
If I want to background the restores then how do I get
the y or n in as required?
I've used a temporary and very ugly solution of not
backgrounding the restores, firing them all off in
parallel then just hitting n a load of times and letting
type-ahead take care of it.
Not pretty but it got the job done.
Any ideas gratefully accepted.
Cheers
