Is it possible to have a bash script automatically handle prompts that would normally be presented to the user with default actions? Currently I am using a bash script to call an in-house tool that will display prompts to the user (prompting for Y/N) to complete actions, however the script I'm writing needs to be completely "hands-off", so I need a way to send Y|N to the prompt to allow the program to continue execution. Is this possible?

There is a special build-in util for this - 'yes'.
To answer all questions with the same answer, you can run
yes [answer] |./your_script
Or you can put it inside your script have specific answer to each question
