Hi All To enable/ disable the shell prompt in linuxppc for IBM 440GP, I wrote two script files. They are as follows
/**********************************************************************/ /* enable_cli.sh: This script is to enable the shell prompt */ grep -v 'sh:123:respawn:/bin/sh < /dev/console > /dev/console 2> /dev/console' /etc/inittab > inittab.tmp echo 'sh:123:respawn:/bin/sh < /dev/console > /dev/console 2> /dev/console' >> inittab.tmp mv inittab.tmp /etc/inittab init q /**********************************************************************/ /*disable_cli.sh: This script is to disable the shell prompt */ grep -v 'sh:123:respawn:/bin/sh < /dev/console > /dev/console 2> /dev/console' /etc/inittab > inittab.tmp mv inittab.tmp /etc/inittab init q /**********************************************************************/ To enable shell prompt , I give the command "sh enable_cli.sh, to disable the shell prompt "sh disable_cli.sh" First time things work fine ie enable/disable shell prompt.When enabled, in the shell prompt I can execute the command from the shell prompt. If I disable the shell prompt and enable for the second time, I get the prompt and I can execute command in the prompt, however the commands I type on the prompt is not visible. I type the enter key continuously I get the shell prompt like this sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# sh-2.05a# Can anybody help me in solving this issue Regards Aman ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
