Using Scripts.sh??

[JonnySnip3r]

Hey guys i am just curious how would i go about writing a script to install something?

here is what i have, what i want to do is install VLC Media Player.

#!/bin/sh
echo “I Will now install VLC Media Player”

sudo apt-get install vlc

ok how do i make it answer "YES"? when it asks the user question? hope someone can help thanks in advance.

You can use the -y flag so

sudo apt-get install -y vlc

#!/bin/sh
echo “I Will now install VLC Media Player”
if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]
then
echo ""
echo "Must execute the script as root user."
exit 1
fi

apt-get install -y vlc

Sorry to nitpick, but if you're checking that the script was executed by root, then you don't need the 'sudo' for the apt-get command.
