[base-files] failsafe-mode: print short help on commandline Like mentioned in ticket https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/11911 this should make the IRC much quieter. Failsafe is somehow special and even experienced users are helpless, because they are not used to this seldom situation. Also: likely you have no internet access in this mode, so you cannot use the wiki.
this supersedes the old patches: http://patchwork.openwrt.org/patch/3337/ http://patchwork.openwrt.org/patch/3553/ Signed-off-by: Bastian Bittorf <bitt...@bluebottle.com> --- package/base-files/files/etc/banner.failsafe | 16 ++++++++++++++++ package/base-files/files/etc/profile | 1 + 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+) create mode 100644 package/base-files/files/etc/banner.failsafe diff --git a/package/base-files/files/etc/banner.failsafe b/package/base-files/files/etc/banner.failsafe new file mode 100644 index 0000000..618a087 --- /dev/null +++ b/package/base-files/files/etc/banner.failsafe @@ -0,0 +1,16 @@ +================= FAILSAFE MODE active ================ +special commands: +* firstboot reset settings to factory defaults +* mount_root mount root-partition with config files + +after mount_root: +* passwd change root's password +* /etc/config directory with config files + +restart system with: +* reboot -f reboots router + +for more help see: +http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/generic.failsafe +======================================================= + diff --git a/package/base-files/files/etc/profile b/package/base-files/files/etc/profile index e9a7119..e72c377 100644 --- a/package/base-files/files/etc/profile +++ b/package/base-files/files/etc/profile @@ -1,4 +1,5 @@ #!/bin/sh +[ -e /tmp/.failsafe ] && cat /etc/banner.failsafe [ -f /etc/banner ] && cat /etc/banner export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/sbin -- 1.7.10.4 _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
