Hello,
We use cobbler to install fedora onto new systems. At the end of the
install, I source a bash script.
I just added a menu to this bash script. I use ‘read’ to read in the user’s
choice. However, when cobbler gets to this point it hangs. The menu does not
come up. The screen shows the message ‘Running post install scripts’ and
stays this way.
Isn't the script being run in the background? This would mean that standard
in is not the keyboard, which is why it's hanging. You can try redirecting
standard in from /dev/console (which I've not done, so don't really know
what to tell you to expect from that), or redirect from a file you can
create in the post via a snippet just prior to executing the bash script
with the menu selection, or use "echo" to pipe the menu selection in.
