I edit script for backup script for SPLAT:

#!/bin/sh
.. /etc/profile.d/CP.sh
cd /var/CPbackup/backups
backup -d --file /var/CPbackup/backups/
scp fw_export pl...(a)172.29.198.23:/data/backup
exit 0

But when the script exec backup command I have:
"Are you sure you want to proceed?"

I must write "yes+enter" but I want to automate doing write "yes +
enter" by the script.
Can I exec the backup command without me being asked "Are you sure you
want to proceed?" and without changing the source code of backup
command?
The command "echo |" not work !!!

Thanks

You might try

<< EOF
yes
EOF

as part of the command of whichever line up there is producing the prompt.
