anyway?

Thanks to Karl Vogel for the quickiest response (5 minutes) and the
correct
answer which follows:

(from Karl)
   Yes. The program you want is called "expect". You can find both
expect
and
   tcl (required by expect) at prep.ai.mit.edu, among other places.

FOr all of you that said use "-r", Dan Lorenzini has the answer for
you:
(Dan's answer)
If you are doing a complete restore to a freshly-made filesystem, you
can use the "r" flag to ufsrestore instead of the "x" and it will not
ask any questions at all. I use this all the time. It creates a file
called restoresymtable which can be removed, unless incrementals are to
be added after the level 0 is restored. In that case, it is crucial to
have the restoresymtable, because it is needed for the incremental
restores.
