Thank you all for the very quick responses!

Solution (both work)

echo y | newfs /dev/rdsk/$i

Or

newfs /dev/rdsk/$i << EOF
y
EOF

Subject: newfs question

All,

I am building a new server which has a very large number of file systems. I
wrote a simple shell script to do the newfs command on all necessary file
systems:

for i in `cat /tmp/Slices`
do
echo $i
newfs /dev/rdsk/$i
done

Is there a way on passing the "y" to the question "Do you want to make a new
file system....". unfortunately newfs doesn't take the -y option.

Thanks!
