Re: [g4u-help] g4u automation - any experience?
Hi, Thanks for your reply. I know where to start then. I was wondering about some already-incorporated scripting capabilities (because g4u is heavily command-line oriented with its own internal set of commands), so I though maybe there was some hidden feature that would allow me to say 'download a g4u script from the ftp server and execute it', but I understand there is nothing like this. I will definitely explore the dot.profile path to see where I can go from there in reasonable time.

Use the source, luke - it's all scripts, what else would you need? In particular: * Rebuilding from source: http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/#rebuilding * The script started at g4u startup is src/distrib/i386/ramdisks/ramdisk-g4u/dot.profile * From there it's all /bin/sh - should be enough for what you need ;) > Have anyone already done similar things? Not really. At one point I've pondered using client-specific settings into DHCP, and then read those settings and start whatever command comes from the DHCP server (backup, restore, parameters), but I've never really persued this way. If you find all the details, this shouldn't be too hard. Of course adding that menue you mention would probably be even easier. Most interesting is probably what/where you boot g4u from - if CD is really still an option. Support for USB / netboot is not where I'd love it to be today... but patches are always appreciated :) - Hubert -- Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
