Hi Guys,
I am working on a CentOS box.
What I expect: To run my own CLI/setup on startup instead of login prompt on serial console (telnet).
What I did so far:- I changed call to "agetty" command in serial.conf and serial-ttyUSB0.conf files under /etc/init/, as follows:-
exec /sbin/agetty -n -l <path-to-my-custom-script> ........
My custom.sh script is:-
#!/bin/bash
LOOP_FLAG=0
while [ $LOOP_FLAG -eq 0 ]; do
for TTY in /dev/ttyS0 /dev/tty0; do
echo "Please choose to enter in 'setup' or 'cli'. (s/c)? " > $TTY
done
read sc
case $sc in
[Ss]* ) LOOP_FLAG=1; <some-executable-cli-file-path>; break;;
[Cc]* ) LOOP_FLAG=1; <some-executable-setup-file-path>; break;;
* ) for TTY in /dev/ttyS0 /dev/tty0; do
echo "Please press 's' or 'c'." >$TTY
done;;
esac
done
But when system boots, on a telnet session, I could only see the "Please choose to enter.." question on screen and after that I couldn't able to type anything on console.
One more update: If I run the above agetty command on shell prompt as it is (say from ssh session), then it works fine on serial console (telnet). But, from the above startup scripts, it doesn't work.
Can anybody help me out with this?
Thanks in advance.
