How to invoke a script downloaded with curl and pass invocation options?
by framp from LinuxQuestions.org on (#58TR7)
I have no idea which forum would be appropriate for my question so I just picked this one :-)
Right now I use following code to download and call a small bash script from my website which initiates a more complex installation
"curl https://<mydomain>/install | sudo bash"
which works fine. Now I want to pass installation options the the install script. I tried
"curl https://<mydomain>/install -o | sudo bash"
which fails.
As a workaround I can use
"curl https://<mydomain>/install -O ./install && sudo ./install -o"
but I frankly would like to use the first version just by adding option -o somewhere :)
Is there any way to get this done or do I have to use the workaround?
