if it would not be to fancy for you you might want to check out dialog. I have used it on red hat and debian boxes.

anybody know how to in essence "auto fill" a read in sh/bash??
for example:
foo.sh runs another program inside itself that asks a question and then
waits for a return off of a read. Based on a test of the question
(redirected from stdout?) a predefined variable is entered as the answer
and then returned somehow to the inside program.
Is this possible? I have a config program that has to be run multiple
times (different machines) with the same answers.
Thanks in advance!!
