Woops - correction on the mount command: mount -o loop /dist/RedHat/base/stage2.img /mnt/stage2 See what happens when you type to fast?! -----Original Message----- From: Lynn, Michael (IDS DM&DS) [mailto:MLynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 10:17 AM To: 'kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: e-mailing from post I don't believe the mail command is available in post. You can checkout the available commands by mounting stage2.img mkdir /mnt/stage2 mount /dist/RedHat/base/stage2.img find /mnt/stage2 -perm 555 # or whatever We accomplish this sort of thing in a post install phase - after the server's install is complete and after a reboot. This is done with a runonce script that is executed on the first reboot after the build. To do this, simply create the script you want to execute in post: %post touch /runonce1.sh cat <<EOF>>/etc/rc.d/rc.local # if [ -x /runonce1.sh ] then sh /runonce1.sh rm /runonce1.sh sleep 10 echo echo "##########################################" echo "#PHASE 2 OF THE INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE" echo "##########################################" echo "#NOW REBOOTING INTO FINAL PHASE" echo "##########################################" echo sleep 10 reboot fi EOF cat <<EOF>>/runonce1.sh /sbin/mail myemail@xxxxxxxxxxx < /root/kickstart-post.log EOF While this might be overkill for simply sending a mail - it does give you the freedom to do things like... Re-mount the installation source and perform upgrades, install new packages, etc... We use it to upgrade the kernel, reboot and then install a mess of isv packages that require a specific version of the kernel. Good luck. Oh... Btw: fix your sig - you've mispeeled United States. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: James_Martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:James_Martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 9:36 AM To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: e-mailing from post I want to send an email in the %post section notifying me of when a build is complete.. The email consists of a log of the %post commands as well as a date stamp. The following command does not seem to work from %post, but will work when it is run after the machine is fully installed. mail myemail@xxxxxxxxxxx < /root/kickstart-post.log Any ideas? Thanks.
