Script to aid in quick modifications
Posted: 23 Dec 2014, 08:55
Hi all
There are times when small modifications are required, like say changing from DHCP to static or changing IP address or GW or blacklisting a device.
Normally this would require opening the xzm, changing it, then remaking the module and finally remaking the ISO.
In the case where one is booting off a USB stick, could one just not make one change initially by pointing to a bash script say in /mnt/sda1/SomeDirectory/TheScript ?
Then in the script, put the changes in there.
So any changes would only require changes to the script on the USB stick.
For example:
My questions then are:
1) Where would one point to the script ? in /etc/rc.d/rc.local ?
2) Would this be acceptable or could there be problems in introducing some changes/customizations this way ?
Thanks in advance.
Dave.

For example:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
# change IP address and GW
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0
echo "nameserver 8.8.4.4" > /etc/resolv.conf
# Run some binary
./TheBinary
