set -o emacs ; stty -echo

should, like for bash, this put the terminal into -echo mode? arm64$ echo $SHELL /bin/sh arm64$ set -o emacs ; stty -echo arm64$ pwd /home/cagney other combinations are equally puzzling. for instance: set -o emacs ; stty -echo ; set +o emacs doesn't flip to -echo mode either

portable file touched during boot

I'm trying to hack up a Make rule that's only run once after a reboot by having it depend on a file touched during boot. Something like foo: /proc/uptime do stuff touch foo On Linux, /proc/uptime seems promising - it has the boot time (other files such as /proc/1 seem to have

posix_spawn(), openpty(), and login_tty()

Python 3.8 adds a shiny new toy - a binding to posix_spawn(). I figured I'd try it as a more robust way of creating a child process attached to a terminal. While I happened to use Python, this is really about NetBSD (and even apply to other code bases such as GLIBC). Forgive my pseudo Python/C

how do I automate an install of a NetBSD QEMU guest on a linux host?

(while my preference is for amd64 or i386 as they are hopefully more efficient, I probably don't care) For instance, some sort of magic long virt-install command that feeds necessary options directly to sysinst. Searching seems to either come up with: - do it by hand using the console - use

wpa_supplicant rc.conf config silently failing

Hi, I was enabling wpa supplcant so added these lines: wpa_supplicant=YES wpa_supplicant_flags="-c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -i run0" and tested it using: /etc/rc.d/wpa_supplicant start and all seemed to work (well, after I fixed my .conf file :-), but then I rebooted:
