Garuda-Update Self-Update no user input after super pass

Hello All!

I was wondering if, or how, to setup "update" or "garuda-update" to not require the user to hit 'y' to proceed with the update. I don't mind it asking for a password, but would like the actual feel of "self-updating" which, to me, is killed with extra user input.

On Ubuntu, and other distros, I used to be able to call the update function and add "-y" to the end to bypass that prompt.

Is there a way to edit the script file so I can do that, or add an argument to the script file to be able to accept the -y option and input it in the correct space so it doesn't prompt me to proceed?

My "garuda-inxi" code is below.

EDIT: Yes a switch would be great guys! I appreciate the refile of my post tags. I apologize for miscategorizing it in the first place but I am new to your forum. I will get used to how it goes.

I also would have replied, but it seems my reply button is non-existent in the current category. Please let me know when you have completed said change or how ot implement your suggested change and I will make that post as my solution!

I can add a --noconfirm switch and a config file setting for you tomorrow if you want!

This is kind of on purpose though since i don't want to be blamed for any decisions pacman ends up making. I want to be able to say "but you said yes to the update so" just in case :stuck_out_tongue: But an option should be fine.

An option should be fine because then you can say "Well you chose to use the noconfirm option":wink:

No confirm is a bad idea and will eventually end up with a borked system and then the shit will hit the fan.
You don't need to type y just hit enter or do users want to mimic the worst Win and Ubuntu through damn sheer ignorance.

This is only an option and not default behaviour.

It will be used by people who can't tie their shoes and then they will come running, "You broke my computer".
The people who want it to self update should be able to do it themselves without asking in the forums.
Just my 2 cents.
