#
# Hello,
#
# Is it possible to run an online update using YaST2 from within an init
# script?
#
# If so, which command should I use, and how can I specify what types of
# packages I want to upgrade (e.g. security, recommended etc...)?
#
# Thanks in advance, people :-)
This should get you started - run this as an init_script:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/chvt 9
exec < /dev/tty9 > /dev/tty9
echo Performing online update...
online_update -l en -u <<<
Hello, I have several init scripts, the last of which sends me an email to say the machine is finished, but if this init script runs before the last init script, will I still get an email? I suppose what I'm asking is, if an init script reboots the machine, will the remaining init scripts still get executed? Thanks again, Richard. -- Richard Hobbs (Systems Administrator) Toshiba Research Europe Ltd. - Speech Technology Group Web: http://www.toshiba-europe.com/research/ Normal Email: richard.hobbs@crl.toshiba.co.uk Mobile Email: mobile@mongeese.co.uk Tel: +44 1223 376964 Mobile: +44 7811 803377
