How to skip phoronix-test-suite inital questions
I would like to use phoronix-test-suite to benchmark cloud instances of different providers.
Nevertheless automation seems to get hang, because phoronix-test-suites asks three initial questions to accept license agreement, whether to upload benchmark results to openbenchmarking and so on.
I know that the batch-run can be preconfigured using the user-config.xml file. But this seems not sufficient to run benchmarks non-interactively the first time.

Can anybody help? Is there another file which phoronix-test-suite needs to not ask its initial questions?

PTS_SILENT_MODE=1 phoronix-test-suite benchmark pts/openssl-1.9.0
Then 3 initial questions are not asked

Thanks. Cool tip. I figured out this variant here using the 'yes' command. yes | phoronix-test-suites ... This will answer all questions with 'yes' and phoronix will run non-interactively. Nevertheless all collected benchmark data will be provided to openbenchmarking.org. Does the PTS_SILENT_MODE do the same?
