We must have feel the pain when you have apply multiple patches and each time you have give Y to the prompt in opatch. There is solution available to this problem

How to run Opatch in non interactive form

We can run the opatch apply, napply, rollback and nrollback commands in non-interactive mode using the opatch argument ‘-silent’.

SYNTAX:
opatch <option> -silent

Option :
apply
napply
rollback
nrollback

The following command can be used to apply a patch (777777 in this example) in silent mode:

$ cd 777777
$ opatch apply -silent

‘opatch <option> -silent’ does the following
– suppresses any user-interaction i.e does not show any opatch prompts for the user input
– automatically answers all the opatch prompts by taking the default options as input and continues

For example:
During one-off patch installations, opatch prompts you with the following message and waits for user response/input:
“Is the Local system ready for patching: [Y]/N ”
In silent mode, opatch automatically takes the default option of ‘Y’ as input for the prompt above and then continues.

So when u need to apply multiple patches,then you can create a script and silent option in the script.
PROD_appl_TEST$ opatch apply -silent
