Basically, I have an application that doesn't want to run in FreeBSD, though it may still run given the compatability layer. I was wondering if there was some way to make the OS respond when it ran the application, that it was linux and not BSD. i.e.
======================================== $ ./some_app Sorry, we only deal with Linux people, go away! $ sysctl.pretend.register /home/me/some_app "generic-i386-linux" $ ./some_app Hello world! ======================================== or ======================================== $ ./some_app Sorry, we only deal with Linux people, go away! $ pretend_os "generic-i386-linux" some_app Hello world! ======================================== Thanks, -Jim Stapleton _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
