Dear All I have been working on a custom ISO with kickstart and a couple of post installation scripts and would like to have the script run before the login prompt. The custom ISO works; however, the scripts fails because some of the services, e.g. mariadb does not start before the server installation has been completed and rebooted; therefore, I have been putting the scripts in /etc/profile.d/ and after logging in the scripts will execute and upon completion of the script will be deleted from /etc/profile.d/. DuckDuckGo suggested that I copy the script to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and make it executable; however, I have tried that a few times and the script simply does not execute. Below is an excerpt from the ks.cfg. export SRCDIR="/run/install/repo" export DSTDIR="/mnt/sysimage" # copy scripts to the destintion of the server cp -v $SRCDIR/postinstall/script1.sh $DSTDIR/etc/rc.d/rc.local/script1.sh # Make scripts executable chmod +x $DSTDIR/etc/rc.d/rc.local.sh Since this is a ISO for a community project, don't think that tools such as Ansible, Chef, Puppet, etc. will work here. Also, it is a one time execution; therefore, I did not consider using systemd because the goal would be to have visibility while the script is running just as I see after I login; however, just need the script to be executed after the OS was installed and restarted and before the login prompt. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance. -- Earl Ramirez <earlaramirez@xxxxxxxxx>
