[cisco-voip] Non-interactive CLI commands?

[jean-francois.guay at bell.ca]

By issuing the 

# copy http://<filename url> flash:<destination filename> *enter* +
*enter*

in your script, you should not have to enter additionnal information and
the router should go on its way.  The second *enter*/line feed confirms
the command for you by responding automatically to the router
confirmation dialog for which "yes" is the default answer.

I don't think that should be too hard to implement, probably requirering
an extra "\n" or two in your script.

Well, I'm using HTTP so that I don't need to provide login credentials 
when I pull the IOS to the router.

The sticking point is that I want to make this script _very_ simple. 
Using clogin from RANCID I can script non-interactive commands quite 
easily, but to get the script to send extra CR is the issue, and I'd 
prefer not to do that.

So, there's no "I-Know-What-Im-Doing-Do-What-I-Say" mode for the copy 
command?
