Hi folks,
Tks for your advice. Sorry for not posting more detail on my 1st message.
I'm prepared to write a simple shell scripts executing following commands automatically.
There are 25 commands to be executed in following sequence
export LFS=/mnt/lfs
mount /dev/hda6 /mnt/lfs
mkdir -p $LFS
echo $LFS
/mnt/lfs (output)
/usr/sbin/chroot "$LFS" /tools/bin/env -i HOME=/root TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin /tools/bin/bash --login +h
mknod -m 600 /dev/console c 5 1
mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3
mount -n -t tmpfs none /dev
mknod -m 622 /dev/console c 5 1
mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3
mknod -m 666 /dev/zero c 1 5
mknod -m 666 /dev/ptmx c 5 2
mknod -m 666 /dev/tty c 5 0
mknod -m 444 /dev/random c 1 8
mknod -m 444 /dev/urandom c 1 9
chown root:tty /dev/{console,ptmx,tty}
ln -s /proc/self/fd /dev/fd
ln -s /proc/self/fd/0 /dev/stdin
ln -s /proc/self/fd/1 /dev/stdout
ln -s /proc/self/fd/2 /dev/stderr
ln -s /proc/kcore /dev/core
mkdir /dev/pts
mkdir /dev/shm
mount -t devpts -o gid=4,mode=620 none /dev/pts
mount -t tmpfs none /dev/shm
In normal circumstance there is no output on all commands except command-4 with "/mnt/lfs" as output. If not considering the output it will be quite simple just listing all commands on a shell script.
Now I expect to arrange the script as follows;
1) The script will automatically continue to execute command-5 if the output of command-4 is "/mnt/lfs" satisfying the condistion otherwise exit the shell.
2) If there is an output on any command excluding command-4 it needs to confirm "yes/no" with the corresponding command displayed on the terminal. 'yes" will continue on next command. "no" will exit the shell stopping the script.
I'm considering whether shell script or perl script will do the job better. If shell script then how to start. If perl script then how to start. Which module/modules will be appropriate to apply, TIA
B.R.
