Installing plugin through shell script without prompt

[Jayanna_Hallur]

Hi

I want to include the plugin installation as part of automation scripts which will install the elastic nodes & install the plugins.

In the ES documentation, I dont see any option for forcing to accept "y" or dont prompt for y/n or by default install it.

root@ip-205-2-40:/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins# sh /tmp/install_s3rep.sh
-> Downloading file:///root/repository-s3-5.2.2.zip

  See http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/permissions.html
  for descriptions of what these permissions allow and the associated risks.

Continue with installation? [y/N]

I don't want it to be prompted for y/n input from user. Is there any parameter I shall pass it in command line?

You can pass the --batch flag.

Thanks. It worked with the --batch flag. It will be nice if they update in the documentation.

Thanks.

I meant, in the documentation where they given information about installing plugin i.e at https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/repository-s3.html

As per the plugin help o/p there is no information about help on command too..

Syntax should have been
elasticsearch-plugin [command] --help|plugin-name

root@ip-205-2-40:/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin# ./elasticsearch-plugin --help
