I am trying to modify the gnome-cleanup script (refer to "man
gnome-cleanup) so it will work in a zones environment. I want to make
it work so that if you run it as root, you can specify a userid, then it
will clean away the user's GNOME configuration files in all zones.
First I get the users $HOME directory by running:
/usr/bin/echo ~userid
This returns "/home/userid"
Second, I get the zone names by running this command:
/usr/sbin/zoneadm list -cv | grep running | grep -v global |
nawk '{ print $4}'
Then I loop over the values returned. For each value, lets
call it $ZONE_PATH, I then try to access the user's home
directory by accessing:
$ZONE_PATH/root/home/userid
However, this directory doesn't exist because the real user's
home directory is $ZONE_PATH/root/export/home/userid. It seems
that this gets mapped to $ZONE_PATH/root/home/userid by
/etc/auto_home.
Is there any way (short of parsing the /etc/auto_home file
directly) to figure out what the user's $HOME directory really
is when the mounts are not yet setup? Or is there a way to
cause the mounts to get set up so that the
$ZONE_PATH/root/home/userid directory will exist? Or is there
a better way to achieve what I am trying to do?
Thanks,
Brian
