Re: Update: rpm package for utmps, skalibs.

Hello, In some distributions, /run is a tmpfs so its content is lost on shutdown/reboot. If this is the case here, does it make sense to alter its content on pre-install/post-uninstall phases ? (Or have I misunderstood something ?) -- Guillaume. Le 10/04/2024 à 04:58, ericwq...@qq.com a

Re: execline and $0-based stuff

I also discovered that the "expr" command from busybox have some regexp support, e.g : expr 'match' '/some/path/getty-tty1/run' '.*/getty-\([^/]*\)/run' Exits with 0 and prints "tty1". While this doesn't print anything and exits with 1 : expr 'match' '/some/path/not-a-tty/run'
