Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Simple script to modify kickstart file Post 302195540 by beeloo on Thursday 15th of May 2008 10:27:25 AM
Old 05-15-2008
Basically I want to copy the original kickstart file to a new file call newks.cfg and insert the "network" statement to the 9th line of the newks.cfg

Here is my script, but it doesn't work...it only add to the bottom of the line to newks.cfg. Please help.




#!/bin/sh

NEW_FILE=newks.cfg
OLD_FILE=oldks.cfg

echo -en "What is the IP Address?"
read IP

echo -en "What is the gateway Address?"
read GATEWAY

echo -en "What is the Hostname?"
read HOSTNAME

/bin/cp ${OLD_FILE} ${NEW_FILE}

echo "network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip ${IP} --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway ${GATEWAY} --nameserver 172.27.200.215,10.72.201.215 --hostname ${HOSTNAME}" >> ${NEW_FILE}
