    [SOLVED] Re: Send yes automatically

    I'm not sure how you want to setup the script, but an example would be,

    yes | sudo -S apt autoremove

    That will send the text 'y' as input to the apt command for as many times as needed.

    I just started a new thread about this, in Debian you can use the package deborphan to find orphaned packages. I don't know the best way to do this in Ubuntu though.

    I keep bouncing between Debian and Xubuntu, I just love how polished Xubuntu is, and everything just works out of the box. With Debian, it's still a hacker's type distro that needs some customization.
