Anyway ideas? Like I > said this works fine in a normal shell: Your script works fine for me. When you say "after I enter an IP it just hangs there" I assume that means you don't see "You entered: $CONSOLEIP" after you press enter? I would think this means the "read CONSOLEIP" is not using tty3 for STDIN. What's the name of the process you're killing? I'm guessing it's something like "ks-script-KLscIP". What's the state of the process when you kill it? S+? Get the process' PID and check what STDIN (fd 0) is pointed at: sh-3.1# ps a | grep ks-script 397 tty1 S+ 0:00 /bin/sh /tmp/ks-script-KLscIP sh-3.1# ls -l /proc/397/fd/0 lr-x------ 1 root 0 64 Nov 20 16:26 /proc/397/fd/0 -> /dev/tty3 Does it say /dev/tty3? What distro/ver/release/arch are you kickstarting? I tested your script with a RHEL 5.1 x86_64 kickstart. - -- Kyle Powell | Red Hat | Senior Consultant, RHCE -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJJZML7pTtanQdBU4RAs42AJ9II6Te4uQJkJJgAbNFOj7B2/mMdwCeI4Sf OrXhrkYNvBXxQoKm1eM+igo= =Qb4Z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
