Dear Uwe, I've been looking on Google for a day for this command. This makes my life so much easier. Thank-you. I notice that it starts a ASCII UI but I intend to call this via ssh. e.g ssh root@t2prd33 'yast2 clone_system' Is there a parameter I can specify to have it fall back to a dumb tty, or will it attempt to detect this automatically?

I know that I can run the yast autoyast command to clone the system

Is there a command line alternative to the yast UI so that I can kick all of these at the same time?

you can use "yast2 clone_system"

A ssh --batch root@t2prd33 "screen -D -m yast clone_system &" should work. - the target system will shortly switch to text mode and then back to graphic ( Looks like a change back and forth from tty7 ) - clone_system tries to install software in case its needed by it. Do not ask me what happens if this fails. - Its takes some time ( in terms of minutes ) and in unattended mode i had crashes of a few machines because of clone_system Note: - You can attach with a "screen -d -RR" to the running YAST process on the target machine. ( Of course you must login first ) - CRTL_A CRTL_D detach from that session.

I did not test it but something like this might do the trick: ssh --batch root@t2prd33 "screen -D -m yast clone_system" but it's untested by me -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Business: http://www.suse.de/~ug listening to: "Stalkers" by mind.in.a.box -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+help@opensuse.org
