Re: [PLUG] shell without tty

[christophe barbe <christophe@cattlegrid.net>]

Sorry, I was not very clear:

If in a software source, you run :
    gettextize --copy --force
with a gettext recent release, you will get at the end a message and
   Press Return to acknowledge the previous three paragraphs.

Now if you want to use the same command in an autogen.sh script, you
will get one or more of this message waiting for your input.

I know that gettextizei uses isatty to decide to ask for enter or not.
So my idea is to write a wrapper around gettextize to run it in a
context without tty (it is possible otherwise what is the point of
isatty?).

Redirecting the input and/or the output doesn't work.
