Automate proftpd-basic install on ubuntu using apt-get
- by Bryan
I'm trying to build a shell script to automate the installation of several packages onto an Ubuntu 10.04 server, and I'm having problems with proftpd-basic.
I'm using the command line
apt-get -qy install proftpd-basic >/tmp/install.log
For most packages, this approach would work fine, however proftpd-basic appears to require some interaction (it asks whether to perform an inetd or standalone installation).
Is it possible for me to pre-select this option on the command line somehow, as I don't want the user to be bothered by this question? - For info, if it matters, I want to choose the 'standalone' option.
