Well I like the "one task, one tool" philosophy, or just the slogan "Devide et impera!" So I'm not happy with the need to modificate asterisk scripts or binary to run on a vserver.... remember in May someone ask here on the list for the power to create a fix terminal to use with perl. But you are right, there are options for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to work around. My skripting skills are not so high and my try would be better inside the asterisk scripts for shure - but I'm looking for a solution that is indepentend of the task - finaly it should be a skript/demon that request a pseudo terminal and link this to a fix /dev/tty$n ($n choosen by [EMAIL PROTECTED]). The most perfect solution would be maybe, when this pseudotty process take care that his "device" exist and if not, that it is created again. ############################################ Howto creat a /dev/tty9 on a vserver without the right to use mknode, proposed by [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006.07.07 ############################################ Create two files: /dev/init.d/pseudo-tty9 #!/usr/bin/expect -f # Some software likes to have an own terminal # but no function to request a pseudo terminal. # On some vservers exist no or not enough # tty devices, and [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not have the # power to create some with mknode. # The idea of this script is to run a bash # as the user asterisk and detach it. # # expect "#" and "$" are part of the promt ;)2006 # 2006.07.07 by [EMAIL PROTECTED] spawn dtach -A /tmp/pseudoterm.socket.9 -e a bash expect "#" { send "/etc/init.d/pseudo-tty9-ln.sh\r" } expect "#" { send "su - asterisk\r" } expect "$" { send "a" } #EOF And: /etc/init.d/pseudo-tty9-ln.sh #!/bin/bash ln -sf $(tty) /dev/tty9 #EOF and run then: update-rc.d -n pseudotty9 defaults as well as: /dev/init.d/pseudo-tty9 ############################################ I seems to work, but it is not smart to have 2 files, and no automaticaly restory in case something crash. - what would be smarter then run a bash? I will not waste your time - Herbert, I like to discuss this and ask for tips how to make it better on a asterisk-users and I think on debian-users mailinglist,too. Maybe some others here on the list does have ideas and tips ;) But you can tell me how you would call such a link to a pseudo terminal construction? BTW a hack like pseudo-tt9 has one big advantage compare to a new feature inside the vserver-tools... it will run today on all vservers -- I don't think that my provider would update to a newer vserver version this year... ;) Have a nice weekend, rob _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
