hdiutil

I'm automating my Mac installation using puppet. As a part of it I need to install several programs that come in a .dmg format.

I use the following to mount them:

sudo /usr/bin/hdiutil mount -plist -nobrowse -readonly -quiet -mountrandom /tmp Program.dmg

The problem is that some .dmg files come with a license attached, and so script is stuck accepting the license. (There is no stdin/out when running with puppet, so I can't manually approve it to continue.)

Is there a way to pre-approve or force-approve the license?
