No, you need not use Terminal, use "Expect" instead as it can look for
prompts and answer them automatically.
You may not have it installed so if <x-man-page://expect> or man expect
in terminal comes up dry, you can get it here -
<http://expect.nist.gov/>
the developer home page
<http://www.mac****ts.org/****ts.php?by=name&substr=expect>
Or via Fink.
