Make gnus-agent-batch non-interactive at all?

Make gnus-agent-batch non-interactive at all?

[anhnmncb]

Hi, list,
I encounter an annoying problem with gnus-agent-batch. My script is:
    -----------------------------
    #!/bin/sh
    emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -f -l ~/.gnus.el gnus-agent-batch >/dev/null 2>&
    -----------------------------

Sometimes when my networking is bad, it can't reach severs, in this
case, this script should ask me: 
    -----------------------------
    Mail source (pop :server pop.sina.com :user anhnmncb :port pop3
    :password ********) error (stringp).  Continue? (yes or no) 
     -----------------------------
and wait for my answer, because it's a non-interactive script, I can't
type yes at all, so this script will be hung on, how to let
gnus-agent-batch always assume the yes answer, so it will go on always?

Any hints will be appreciated!

Hmmm...maybe:   --eval '(defun yes-or-no-p (p) t)'

I added (defun yes-or-no-p (p) t) to init-gnus.el, but don't know how to
test it (My networking is damn good now..). So I disconnect my
net then run the script, after some minutes, I got this log:
           Unable to open server nntp+news.gmane.org, go offline? (y or n)
So I think it donesn't work, right?

That's not yes-or-no-p, that's y-or-n-p :-)

So perhaps:  --eval '(defun yes-or-no-p (p) t)' --eval '(defun y-or-n-p (p) t)'
