+Next, you are likely to need to avoid the various interactive
+prompts Plink can produce. You might be prompted to verify the host
+key of the server you're connecting to, to enter a user name, or to
+enter a password.

+To avoid being prompted for the server host key when using Plink for
+an automated connection, you should first make a \e{manual}
+connection (using either of PuTTY or Plink) to the same server,
+verify the host key (see \k{gs-hostkey} for more information), and
+select Yes to add the host key to the Registry. After that, Plink
+commands connecting to that server should not give a host key prompt
+unless the host key changes.
