How do I run this from the bash shell? (from clients/inst_finish.ycp) SCR::Write (.target.string, "/var/lib/YaST2/runme_at_boot", "") I want to try running this manually so I can understand why it is failing during autoinstallation. This is failing for my target, as are a couple other SCR commands. I can run the command from a chroot post-script to get the help output with: chroot /mnt /usr/lib/YaST2/servers/scr -h So the command seems to run somewhat, but for the runme_at_boot creation I get the Y2log error: 2004-12-18 02:34:13 <0> linux(3172) [liby2] Y2ProgramComponent.cc(launchExternall Program):292 Going to execute /usr/lib/YaST2/servers/scr with chroot /mnt 2004-12-18 02:34:13 <0> linux(519) [libycp] Scanner.cc(Scanner):107 Scanner settting builtinTable to 0x507d10 2004-12-18 02:34:13 <0> linux(519) [libycp] Scanner.cc(initTables):146 m_globalTT able 0x1776bb0 2004-12-18 02:34:13 <0> linux(519) [libycp] Scanner.cc(initTables):158 m_localTaable 0x52fd60 2004-12-18 02:34:13 <0> linux(519) [libycp] parser.yy(yyparse):284 ------------------------------------------- accept ------------------------------ -------------- 2004-12-18 02:34:13 <0> linux(519) [liby2] Y2ProgramComponent.cc(sendToExternal)) :377 Error writing to external program /usr/lib/YaST2/servers/scr: Couldn't sendd (`Write (.target.string, "/var/lib/YaST2/runme_at_boot", "")) (Broken pipe) 2004-12-18 02:34:13 <3> linux(519) [liby2] Y2ProgramComponent.cc(receiveFromExtee rnal):343 External program /usr/lib/YaST2/servers/scr died unexpectedly 2004-12-18 02:34:13 <3> linux(519) [Interpreter] scr:240 SCR::Write() did not reeturn a boolean So I'd like to understand what is wrong with my target's environment that this would fail. thanks, Brian
