Category: None Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mark Johnson (mhjohnson) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Support post install actions Initial Comment: Suggest adding -post-install (name of script) to mkinstallscript (and related scripts) to allow the administrator to automate the post installation (but prior to reboot) changes that may need to be made. Examples include: - changing the node name in /etc/sysconfig/network - detecting hardware differences and changing active services Suggest doing this with a chrooted shell (so paths match the "golden master" and utilities are present) prior to the sequence of umount commands. If you don't cut / paste the contents of the post install script into the install script, require it to be in the filesystem of the golden master (or on the install CD or disk). Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Petre Mierlutiu (petre) Date: 2004-03-15 13:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=894594 ME TOO ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: David N. Lombard (dnl) Date: 2002-09-24 21:24 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=27334 I would fully concur with the value of user post-installation scripts. However, I would suggest instead of a single script, a directory containing any number of scripts is accepted. The scripts can simply be copied over to the freshly installed node and then executed in sort order into a chrooted environment so that the full capabilities of the imaged node can be used. This allows for any arbitrary issues to be handled and also provides a prototyping capability. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Sean Dague (sdague) Date: 2002-09-20 17:30 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21949 System Configurator (in CVS) will support an arbitrary number of post install actions via [USEREXIT] stanzas. Docs on this comming shortly. I am curious about the need for changing node name and hardware differences after install, as System Configurator already does that. If you have needs beyond what SC current supports, I'd like to hear about them on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350259&aid=612132&group_id=259 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
