after executing system(), how can I pass "Y" to system by php?

[jiing.deng@gmail.com]

I want to use the system command to set user's priority

$cmd = "cacls d:\\appserv\\ww w\\accountMng\\ $userName /G $userName:F";
system($cmd);

Then it appears
Are you sure (Y/N)?

How can I pass the "Y" to system by php?

Thanks in advance.

Use proc_open instead.

It's been a while since I had to dirty my hands on a Microsoft machine, and
I've never used 'cacls' but IME most MS CLI commands have a switch for
running non-interactively.

$cmd =
"ECHO Y | cacls d:\\appserv\\ww w\\accountMng\\ $userName /G
$userName:F";
