Re: Script Parameter Passed to Ontape Restore script

Thanks for the valuable info. I have created, and executed a file with the commands that you suggested. The restore begins, and the first two parameters are passed. However, I cannot seem to pass a "n" to the remaining questions which will all be answered no. How do I pass an "n"? I cannot get past the "Do you want to backup...logs...(y/n)" question. The script looks like: ontape -r <<EOF >> ${LOGFILEy y n n EOF It's sooooooooooooooo close. We are running IDS V7.3.TC3 on NT4. I can be reached at jhimschoot@crowechizek.com.

I have been trying the following command, echo "y\\n" |ontape > -r >> ${LOGFILE}, but the y and n do not get passed. I can be reached a ontape wants a tty to talk to. On some systems this means that piping in input does not work. On many systems a 'here script' will work instead: ontape -r <<EOF >> ${LOGFILEy y EOF
