Greetings All :)
On a fully patched Solaris 10 U5 (sparc) system with SRSS 4.0 (+patch
127553-02) we've been having a bit of 'fun' trying to set up a kiosk
session script where some command line arguments need to have values
containing space characters.
Since our 'real' script wasn't working quite as expected we set up a
simple test script "/etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/testarg/testarg" like so:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
OUTFILE=/tmp/testarg.debug
echo "\nCommandArgs: $@" >> ${OUTFILE}
while getopts o: optname ; do
case ${optname} in
o) OPTo="${OPTARG}"
;;
esac
done
echo "OPTo=[$OPTo]" >> ${OUTFILE}
exit 0
Now, if we run the script interactively as per these two examples:
/etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/testarg/testarg -o 'Spaced Out'
/etc/opt/SUNWkio/sessions/testarg/testarg -o "Spaced Out"
...we get this output in our OUTFILE:
CommandArgs: -o Spaced Out
OPTo=[Spaced Out]
However, when the same script is executed (via the kiosk session
environment) using the same command line arguments we get varying and
unexpected output where
-o 'Spaced Out'
...produces this output:
CommandArgs: -o 'Spaced Out'
OPTo=['Spaced]
...and
-o "Spaced Out"
...produces this output:
CommandArgs:
OPTo=[]
...leading us to suspect the kiosk environment is somewhat
'different'???
So, am open to any suggestions re what to try next?
Placing the options in a configuration file is one possible solution but
isn't desirable with multiple SRS ...and the web interface is obviously
the best place for this. Also, we just don't have a choice with some of
the argument values having space characters.
Does anyone know if the forthcoming kiosk patch might prove beneficial
in this case?
Kind Regards,
Peter
