I tried a variation of this so I could keep things logged (in order to
debug possible problems in the future):
chvt 3
yum groupinstall Insight-Manager </dev/null | tee -a /var/log/postinstall 2>&1
chvt 1
hpasmd is still tied to tty1. If I kill the "tee" process, the %post
finishes running just fine. Any ideas how to keep a log of all of yum's
output and display it in parallel instead of using tee? I know about
yum.log, but I was hoping to grab possible errors to the postinstall
log.
I guess I could run "chvt 3; (tail -f /var/log/postinstall &)" and then
run the "yum >> /var/log/postinstall 2>&1".
Any other ideas would be appreciated. Thanks for your help!
