Snapview scripting - removing a snapshot

Question

I have a script that will remove the snapshots, but it prompt the user for confirmation of the removal. Since I want the process to be fully automated as part of our backup strategy having it prompt for confirmation causes the automated process to fail.

For the time being I have been just running the script and hitting Y when prompted. Is there a way to run the command without that user input?

have you tried to add '-o'

Pretty much, but the command is two letters less so it is a more efficient command than the symm command

I did it like this:y|navicli -h ip# bla bla bla.....Works like a charm. Never knew there was a '-o' option as well.It sure sounds like '-nop' in Symcli.

I did it like this:y|navicli -h ip# bla bla bla.....i don't think this will work on Windows ..has to be some kind of shell ?Works like a charm. Never knew there was a '-o'option as well.It sure sounds like '-nop' in Symcli.it's exactly what it is

I did it like this:y|navicli -h ip# bla bla bla.....i don't think this will work on Windows ..has to besome kind of shell ?Yes, in Windows you can't do exactly the same thing. You can cheat it by creating a text file 'yes.txt' with 'y' as the contents and then running the command like this: navicli -h ip# bla bla bla  yes.txtBut it's much easier to use the '-o'

ok ok, it's something like that:'echo y|navicli bla bla bla....'If anyone is interested I will look it up, but the '-o' sure is easier.
