Perl API Automation

[savash]

I'm trying to automate installation process on wmvare server.

I'm booting from CD and stuck at the prompt to choose boot option:

BOOT: <......>

How can I send the string ("install") on prompt and "press" Enter? There is no timeout and it's required for start installation process.

I have to "press" Enter after installation is finished as well.

?

Thanks!

Hi savash,

Not sure this is the correct forum to ask (or to answer that question), however, if you would like to automate the entire installation process and need to supply an input to the console, try using the Expect Perl module at http://search.cpan.org/dist/Expect/Expect.pod

Hope it helps...
