Hi all,
Thanks for your advices. I have tried to use the -q -y in addition to the original command.
sudo apt-get -q -y install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-jdk, with export DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive first.
The install script does not ask me for the space Y/N, but it still prompt the "Package Configuration" panel and ask me to click <OK>, and I failed it again.
Is there anyway to skip that click as well?
Thanks

Hi all,
Here is the case: I want to install Java on a remote machine using fab. However, in the middle of installation, there is policy prompt out and I should tab to the <OK> and click "enter" on it if I am installing it locally. While, with fab, I can tab to the button but cannot "press" the <OK> to accept and continue it. I'm wondering if there is a way to "click" the OK or typing something equivalently, or maybe add something in the command to make it default accept?
Thanks in advance!
