Handling user manual intervention in juju

[Shilpa Kaul]

Thanks Marco,

I am adding the accept-license configuration parameter to my config.yaml 
already , the product installer was waiting at accept license (User has to 
type 1 for acceptance).I will try the yes command in my charm to avoid the 
manual intervention.

Thanks and Regards,

There are other charms that have this issue. One thing to take note is you 
should /never/ really accept license without telling the user what's going 
on. Other authors have solved this in a more simple fashion. They've added 
a configuration option on the charm, "accept-license" which is a boolean 
which defaults to False. The description of the configuration option 
outlines where to read the license in full. Then, in your config-changed 
hook don't proceed with the install script until the user flips 
accept-license configuration option. You can usually get around the 
prompting of the install script with the `yes` command. If the script 
expects you to just type "y" then you can do `yes | ./install` if it needs 
a full "yes" or another phrase you can change that using the yes command 
`yes "yes" | ./install` as an example.

Thanks,

You could try expect(1).

Is the product java by any chance ?
