Re: Edit grub from 3270 console

2023-05-05 Thread Chris Craft 

UTS as presented to us does indeed contain ned. I just logged in to my
VM/370, DIALled UTS and voila!

It's amazing what they did with 16MB!

Cheers,
Chris.

Hercules VM. Note that this is an UTS system on 3330 DASD so you can't
run that on current (z/)VM systems. UTS does run in VM/370. IIRC it is

Talking with the Unix person, he simply like to add systemd.unit=rescue.target 
at the end of the kernel line (in the corresponding GRUB entry) in order to 
boot into single-user mode whenever there's a booting problem.

I'm pretty sure they're asking about the ability of using grub itself to change 
things, when the grub menu is displayed. If so, then there is supposed to be a 
way to do it, but I never really dug into it well enough to figure it out 
properly. There are a couple of hints given on the screen about which keys to 
use, etc., but after that I wasn't initially able to get any further, and had 
to move on to other tasks.

If they're not talking about that, and are asking about using some form of 
editor to modify the config file itself, then you're correct. I really wish the 
old UTS editor that was made to work with 3270/3215 terminals had been open

Good information on the links sent, thanks. Like Mark said, we are looking to 
edit grub at boot time. For example

Welcome to GRUB!

GNU GRUB  version 2.02


  Use the ^ and v keys to select which entry is highlighted. Press

  enter to boot the selected OS, `e' to edit the commands before

  booting or `c' for a command-line.

  *(1) SLES 12-SP5
   (2) Advanced options for SLES 12-SP5

   The highlighted entry will be executed automatically in 8s.7s 6s 5s 4s 2



GNU GRUB  version 2.02

  Use the ^ and v keys to select which entry is highlighted. Press

  enter to boot the selected OS, `e' to edit the commands before

  booting or `c' for a command-line. ESC to return previous menu.

  *(3) SLES 12-SP5, with Linux 4.12.14-122.150-default
   (4) SLES 12-SP5, with Linux 4.12.14-122.136-default

The Unix person wants me to append another parameter after the LOGOFF parm when 
grub screen appears at boot time.

I found this link

https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP4/html/SLES-all/cha-grub2.html

Section 18.4 has keys under 3270 screen, but I tried and doesn't work.

You can pass things to grub on the IPL command using the PARM statement.  I 
just had to do that when I needed to validate a systemd timing problem with a 
kernel parm.  It's tricky with the lower case stuff.

Unfortunately, the links to older SLES release documentation are meanwhile 
broken in

https://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/linux390/lvc/zFCP_Best_Practices-BB-Webcast_201805.pdf#page=55
The new links would be:
https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP4/html/SLES-all/cha-grub2.html#sec-grub2-menu-change
https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP4/html/SLES-all/cha-grub2.html#sec-grub2-zseries
Note that it's quite tricky to use the grub menu editing as we're in a line 
mode terminal and the cursor position is not getting drawn, so the SLES docs 
suggest to temporarily(!) enter an underscore to see the cursor position, but 
one also needs to remove the underscore again with e.g. sending a backspace 
escape sequence so grub does not see the underscore which is regular user input 
for it.

'ned', which was truly an excellent editor, many XEDIT-like features.

Ironically, UTSGlobal contributed the 3270 full screen driver to Linux. 
I guess they thought they'd be able to get revenue from the editor?


I was told that 'ned' on UTS would detect 3270 or ASCII line and 
accommodate either. I never used it on an ASCII line, so this is a 
second hand report.

But 'ned' on a 3270 was really fantastic.

Re: Edit grub from 3270 console

2023-05-04 Thread Marcy Cortes 
You can pass things to grub on the IPL command using the PARM statement.  I 
just had to do that when I needed to validate a systemd timing problem with a 
kernel parm.  It's tricky with the lower case stuff.

Is that what you are trying to do?

I'm pretty sure they're asking about the ability of using grub itself to change 
things, when the grub menu is displayed. If so, then there is supposed to be a 
way to do it, but I never really dug into it well enough to figure it out 
properly. There are a couple of hints given on the screen about which keys to 
use, etc., but after that I wasn't initially able to get any further, and had 
to move on to other tasks.

If they're not talking about that, and are asking about using some form of 
editor to modify the config file itself, then you're correct. I really wish the 
old UTS editor that was made to work with 3270/3215 terminals had been open 
sourced before the company went under, but that never happened.

Re: Edit grub from 3270 console

2023-05-04 Thread Jeffrey Barnard 

If you install THE (The Hessling Editor) you can edit this type of file
with full XEDIT compatibility.

I did this recently ...

Boot failure ... Provide root password ...

> cd /etc
> the fstab

entered COMPAT XEDIT XEDIT XEDIT

from there I fixed the problem, saved the file and rebooted.

Problem solved.

Victor,

The only options that I can think of are ed and sed. Your Unix people should 
know how to use them.
