4.2.1. The Answer File

If you want to automate some of the process of installing RHN Proxy Server on your systems, the
configure-proxy.sh program allows administrators to create answer files that contain pre-filled
responses to prompts in the installation program.
The following is an example answer file that contains pre-filled answers related to version number,
the RHN Satellite Server server that serves as the parent server, SSL, and other configuration
parameters. For more information about creating and using answer files, refer to the configure-
proxy.sh manual page by typing man configure-proxy.sh at a shell prompt.
