Re^4: Dialog with UNIX shell

No, I am writing the programm which installs ssh keys on remote servers. my @servers = ('j5'); foreach my $server (@servers) { my $cmd = "bash"; if (system($cmd)) { print "$cmd failed\n"; next; } my $res = qx(ssh $server); if ($res =~ m/RSA\skey\sfingerprint/) { HERE I NEED TO ANSWER YES/NO AND PRESS ENTER

You need something like IPC::Open2 instead of qx() since you want 2-way communication with ssh. qx() only allows to receive from the child process.

That said, you're probably better off using Expect and let it worry about the nitty gritty parent-child communication details.

If you use (y/n) instead of yes/no, you can do it like this

my $response = <STDIN>;
chomp($response);
if (lc($response) eq 'y') { ...etc
