Re: more cfagent during kickstart woes

[Ed Brown]

This is more of a kickstart question and answer, but you can switch to
an alternate console for %post, or even just for running cfagent.  You
can also check for success, and open a shell for troubleshooting if
necessary, within kickstart.  E.g.:

%post
chvt 3
exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3
(do your cfengine install, including update.conf ...)
cfagent -qv 
if [ $? -ne 0 -o ! -f /var/cfengine/inputs/cfagent.conf ]
then
        echo 'some warning and debug hints'
        cd /var/cfengine/inputs
        sh
fi
...


hth,
Ed
