Thanks to all that replied to numerous to list.

I had several solutions that would work:

Use mkfs it's non-interactive

Use expect

newfs /dev/rdsk/c0t8d0s0 < $inputfile (Input file has a "y" in it)

newfs /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs0 << EOF y EOF

newfs /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs0 << END y END

newfs /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxs0 < /dev/null

echo y | newfs /dev/rdsk/cxtxdxsx (Suggested by plenty and my personal
favorite).

filesystems..how do I answer "y" to the question below within the script?
