CMSFS package for Linux release 1.1.12

2024-02-04 Thread Rick Troth

Hi all --

The first CMS FS package (a long long time ago, but I can still
remember) ... okay, mute Don McLean.
The first CMS FS package included a filesystem driver. That fell out
because the author could not keep up with Linux kernel changes. (It's a
rapid pace!) And now there's the FUSE driver.
But the package also includes a utility which lets you read CMS
minidisks (and read files from them) without having to mount them.
Sometimes quite handy.

I've occasionally used a feature called 'cmsfsrun'. This little widget
lets you run a shell script from your 191 when Linux starts up.
But it was never published with the rest of the project. As of 1.1.12
that has been corrected.
The default CMS file is "profile sh" but that is configurable. Give it a
try and let me know what you think.
It works with the SysV INIT stuff but there is also a "service" file for
SystemD.

https://github.com/trothr/cmsfs/releases/tag/1.1.12

There is also an RPM, which is helpful for SUSE and RedHat systems. (If
someone wants to help with.deb files please speak up.)

This is a GitHub thing. Feel free to open "issues" if you find any. Thanks.
