Expect is what I would use,
Have you tried something like this?
echo Yes | scanner .......
I am also pretty sure you would need to mmrecov into a version of the
server before 6.1.1. and then run upgrade to 6.1.3 then one to 7.1.3.
I read somewhere that they have fixed the scanner prompt issue in 7.3,
so that might be a way to go (usual 7.3 warnings and mention of 7.3.1
coming soon...).

Hi Darren,
Unfortunately I am limited by the Windows 2k3 command line...
I have tried doing an mmrecov however it fails to find a bootstrap
saveset on tapes (I know from a bootstrap printout that there is in fact
a valid bootstrap on the tape I tried) I suspect this is because I was
using a current version of legato (7.1.3) and the tapes were from legato
5.X.X Does anyone on here know if later version of Legato are backwards
compatible when doing mmrecovers?
Cheers,
Matt

I haven't tried automating it. Have you tried running it with no
connection to the shell? Does it run or just exit out?
scanner -blah... < /dev/null > /tmp/scanner.log 2>&1
If that doesn't work, then 'expect' would allow you to automate it
externally. More annoying than working entirely within scanner, but
pretty dependable.
