As noted on my blog and at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/shells/ I''ve made available a DTrace provider for the Bourne shell. Before anyone starts yelling at me for not starting with another shell, read the blog I made explaining why we started with shell (link on the community page referenced above). For /bin/sh, I''ve put up something akin to a chapter in

I''m trying to stub(!) the Kernel.` (backquote) method and I''m having confusing (to me) results. Here''s the method I''m spec''ing: class Barcode ... def raw_barcodes self.make_temporary_copy `OcrBarcode #{self.temp_file_path}` end ... end And this is my (newbish) attempt at the spec: describe "Calling @barcode.raw_barcodes" do

Good day, I have a centos 4.4 box (all yumed up). Now i have a program that has a sub shell - meaning something like the mysql command line, where once started it takes it's own commands, etc and keeps running until a "quit" command is issued. Now what I was wondering - is there a way to fork it to the background (something like # command & or ctrl -z) and have the subshell keep

The post section of the kickstart configuration file I have been using in CentOS4 looks like this: %post mount centosmirror:/var/www/html/ks /mnt /mnt/ks/post/post.sh > /root/post_install.log 2>&1 umount /mnt I tried to do my first CentOS 5 kickstart installation today using an identical post section, but the post install script did not run.

Hello, I''m trying to deploy my application with Capistrano using Mongrel recipes. Since I''ve installed Ruby from source code, mongrel scripts are found in /usr/local/bin. But the recipes can''t find mongrel_rails : "bash: mongrel_rails: command not found". The path of the user account used to deploy is OK. For sure, I can redefine

I collect some info with the %pre script. But I really want to execute some programs, based on that info, during a chrooted %post. The problem is, %pre and chrooted %post do not share any part of the filesystem. In %pre the hard-drives are not yet formatted, while in a chrooted %post the installer's root is not available. How to transfer info between these two stages? One idea would be to

Is there a way in the %post section of install to continue to have the VT3 logging but also log that to a file. Somehow using tee perhaps? I have found --log=/tmp/post-install.log but then that shows nothing on VT3. I would like to have both if possible. Log to VT and a file. THanks, Jerry

I am trying to mount an nfs drive in the post kickstart section. I am getting an error on "service nfs start" about cannot register service RPC What do I need to start first? jerry

Hey again folks, How can I save answers to questions in %pre, for use in %post? I'm assuming (though have not yet tried) that variables won't live that long. Could I save them off to /tmp in a file, and retrieve them? e.g. %pre echo "VARNAME=$VARNAME" >> /tmp/varfile %post grep ^VARNAME= /tmp/varile Or some such ... -- ?Don't eat anything you've ever seen

Okay, this is really simple but because Google has deteriorated in quality over time, it's getting really hard to find straight forward answers. Very simple; when does the %POST section of the Kickstart file kick in during the install process? Before or after the first reboot? Hopefully this gets picked up easy by the spiders... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was

I'm running the command "yum -y update" from a script called from the the post section of my kickstart config file, and I get the following error: Installing : kernel-2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.i686 185/378 grubby fatal error: unable to find a suitable template After the install, if I log in to the system and remove that RPM and then re-install it with

Hi, (This is happening on CentOS 6) during a machine's kickstart I install several yum repositories which are contained in an RPM. During the %post phase I install an RPM which has a dependency to nodejs. That package with all of its dependencies can be found in EPEL. On the other hand I have the Softwarecollections repository, which also contains nodejs with the same version. Now nodejs

Hi, all. I'm trying to customize a CentOS installation cd, but got trouble with kickstart. I want to use dialog[1] for command line based user interface, but it can't display correctly in kickstart with CentOS 5.5. Same ks file works with CentOS 5.3 (both i386 and x86_64). What's the different between CentOS 5.3/5.5? I can't find it in release notes. And how can i fix it? Thanks

Hi All, I am attempting to create a custom USB drive for kickstart install. I found this: 1. get the ISO file of CentOS 7 2. mount -o loop CentOS-7.0*.iso /mnt/ 3. mkdir -p /CentOS-7-ISO-respin/{CentOS-7-unpacked,CentOS-7-iso} 4. rsync -avz /mnt/ /CentOS-7-ISO-respin/RHEL-7-unpacked 5. put your kickstart file into

Ya know, I think I'm going to uninstall whatever Icecast we have, then re-install it--after doing a backup first, of course! :-) This is just getting too weird.

Hi All, I'm trying to migrate from Fedora Core 4 to a more stable linux deployment of Centos 4.3. I'm using kickstart to do an automated installation of minimal packages and then doing configuration in the %post section. I do this by calling serveral custom system-config-local-* scripts that I have written along with system-config-network-tui (aka netconfig). The problem that I am
