Direct output of mkinitrd command generator to shell
 

Hi All,

Is there a way of directing/piping the output of mkinitrd_command_generator.sh directly to the shell so that I don't need to type out the resultant command?

Just pipe it to bash

Use pipe to bash:
# /usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh parameters_if_needed | bash

Or put the command inside "$( )" like so:

I always open /etc/mkinitrd.conf with Vim, paste the output of mkinitrd_command_generator.sh into the configuration file (:r !/usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh) and then edit it.

Highlight the output with the left mouse button held down, then paste with the middle button. Maybe uncool and uncouth, but works for me.

+1 (must be an Australian thing :p)

long live the lazy!! (ie, I do exactly the same)

+2, 60% of the time, it works Everytime!

# $(/usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh) FTW

# /usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh -c > /etc/mkinitrd.conf
# mkinitrd -F

So you can keep track of your configs.

Same here.
