Hi
I want to give input automatically by some means... that is i wanna write a script that checks the type of java being installed in the system and should select the appropriate one (for eg, sun's java)
usually this command shows the list of java being installed and asks for user input that which java should be selected... the '2' specifies second java to be selected... i want this to be done automatically... among the displayed java i have to select sun java automatically without giving input... based on the result(list of javas) the selection has to be made

Hey There,
Maybe a simpler way, but parsing that execution in perl would make for a really simple pattern match on which you could act:
if ( $whatever =~ /\/usr\/bin\/java$/ )
Hope that helps steer you in the right direction!
