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?

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

Or put the command inside "$( )" like so:
Code:
$(/usr/share/mkinitrd/mkinitrd_command_generator.sh -r)

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.

So you can keep track of your configs.
