Shell From URLSetup - Kickstart

I am having difficulty with booting a server via kickstart. It gets to the URL Setup stage which then fails to get the image over the network.

Not sure what is going on here but is it possible to get a shell from this step?
Once I could get this I can then troubleshoot some more...

Making Kickstart File Available On USB Drive?

The RHEL installation guide says:

The kickstart file should be on a
separate flash memory drive to the boot media.

Why is this?

If I want to have the minimal boot media, the kickstart file and the complete installation software on the same USB drive, is it not possible?

How do I point to the kickstart file on the USB drive if it has a file system and the kickstart file is not a raw copy but a file on the file system?

Linux From Windows- Bash ,shell

Hello am a newbie to linux,
I tried to install cygwin for windows,all i need is i need to write a shell program for a batch file i already have, I am not able to do this.
My batch file content looks like

SET JAVA_HOME=..\jdk
SET CLASSPATH="%CLASSPATH%;../lib/A.jar;../lib/slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar;../lib/slf4j-simple-1.6.1.jar"

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe com.A ../conf/C.properties

PAUSE

this works perfectly, I try to write a shell program which is failing when i check it through cygwin. i am not able to set the export to java_home.
The pblm i face is say my current directory where my shell program is 'Z'
then i want to get back to 'y' where X has two sub folders y and z

X
-Y (is jdk )
-Z (where shell pgm resides)

cd ../ or any combination of cd doesnot work in my shell script.

Please help me. Any help is greatly appreciated

Bash Script Non-interactive Login Shell

Hi

I'm focusing on getting my head around interactive v non-interactive shells, both non-login and login. Basically what scripts are run and how local and global variables behave.

I'm pretty much there except for 'non-interactive login shells'. I understand that 'non-interactive' shells are started when a script is run. However, if I start my script with #!/bin/bash --login, then a 'non-interactive login' shell will be started.

In my mind I would have expected this to be the same as logging in from scratch, albeit without a user\password prompt. In this case I would have thought that any exported variables from the parent shell would be blown away. This doesn't appear to be the case. The 'non-interactive login' shell appears to inherit the environment of its parent 'interactive' shell.

Can anyone explain the purpose of a 'non-interactive login' shell and how they behave in this regard.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers

Mike

Sending SMB Client Commands Through Shell Script

Hello.

I have a shell script, which I am using to access the SMB Client:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/username
smbclient //link/to/server$ password -W domain -U username
recurse
prompt
mput baclupfiles
exit

Right now, the script runs, accesses the server, and then asks for a manual input of the commands.

Can someone show me how to get the commands:
Code:
recurse, prompt, mput baclupfiles and exit

to be run by the shell script please?

Shell Scripts

I am taking a Linux class and am doing horribly, I just do not understand Linux. Can anyone please tell me how to create a shell script containing the `echo`, `whoami`, `groups`, and `pwd` commands?

I can do these as individual commands but cannot figure out how to do this in a shell script and get the output to produce output similar to the following:

You a
root
You are a member of the following groups:
root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel
Your current working directory is:
/tmp

My hair is getting thinner and grayer because of this.. Please help!

What Exactly Is PATH

books say that PATH variable contains the locations where the shell searches the commands to execute them.

I created a shell script and saved it in /home/user/Downloads directory and then i ran this script from the /home/user/Downloads directory. It did not execute.

however when i did set the path
export PATH=$PATH:/bin/sh within /home/user/Downloads directory, the shell script executed. Does it not mean that PATH variable is holding the locations of the shell program rather than the commands that are to be executed?

everytime i have to give the location of the shell i.e /bin/sh in the PATH variable no matter from where i am executing my script
