[Novalug] Installing rpms via an automated script

[Dan Lavu]

Jim,

 

I had my syntax wrong, try 

 

script.sh 2>&1 > your.log

I can't autologin as root so that's out.  If I run the script as the user,
it runs fine.  It runs everything else in the script except the rpm commands
and the yum commands (I tried both).  I added a line below #!/bin/bash 

 

$mcaffee.sh>$output.txt 2>&1

 

but nothing is showing up in the output.txt file.

I think $script is supposed to be replaced by the name of your script,
$log.file with some file to log output to, and then 2>&1 with the greater
than sign important - there shouldn't be single quotes- whatever is going on
will be in what you put for $log.file

you might also try running it as

$ bash -x $script >$logfile 2>&1

That may produce some explanatory output.

script or somewhere else? Sorry for the questions, I haven't written a shell
script in ages and this got dumped on me.

session, you can edit your sudoers file and disable require notty, that
should fix it. If that doesn't work, you can run your script and put the
following at the '$script > $log.file 2&<1' and it will redirect all the
default output to a text file so you can find out what is holding you up.

the user set up to sudo with no password. The script works fine until I get
to the rpm installs. I've put "sudo rpm -ivh /path/to/X.rpm" and I've put
"sudo yum -y install /path/to/X.rpm" with not success. When I'm logged in as
the user, I can run the script just fine, but automated? Nope. Yes, I've set
up environment variables. Am I missing something?
