Hi everyone.
I work on the install team, and am working on an ITU-style menu the user
will first see when booting the text-mode CD. This menu selects the
installer and Device Driver Utility among other things. The menu is a
ksh93 script started as an SMF service. The environment given to it via
SMF is different than a usual login environment, and signals do not work.
Attached are the files which I put in /lib/svc/method,
/var/svc/manifest/... and the menu itself which goes in /usr/sbin.
The intent is for the script to mask signals (^C, abort, ^Z,^\, SIGTERM)
so it cannot be exited, but to allow signals to be active in the
commands it runs (installer, DDU, shell). Examples: I want to be able
to run sleep from my script and ^C out of it; I want the shell run from
my menu to see a ^C for processing.
Using the attached files as a starting point, I tried modifying the
manifest file to look more like what the original install-setup manifest
(old installer) looked like (to depend on svc:/milestone/single-user,
and to add to the startd property group:
<propval name-'need_session' type='boolean' value='true' />
I also tried modifying the 'ignore_error' property, but then I checked
the ARC case (PSARC/2004/524) and it turns out the ignore_error deals
with errors requiring a restart, not what I am interested in.
I looked at console-login service to see how it works and tried a
dependency on svc:/milestone/sysconfig as it had; that didn't work either.
Any suggestions? I'd greatly appreciate any help getting this to work.
Thanks,
Jack
