I'm using the following kickstart post installation logging options:
%post
exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3
chvt 3
echo
echo "################################"
echo "# Running Post Configuration #"
echo "################################"
(
echo 'Hello, World!'
cat > test_file <<EOF
Hello World
EOF
) 2>&1 | /usr/bin/tee /var/log/post_install.log
chvt 1
The problem is that I'm not actually capturing commands used to create the test_file (code beginning with cat and ending with EOF) in my log file. The echo statement is there but nothing more.
The following code solves the problem but will mean I have to append a tee statement to all of my post installation procedures, which is not satisfactory.
echo -e "# Writing test_file and capturing to log_file" && /usr/bin/tee -ai log_file >> test_file << EOF
Hello World
EOF
The current log file created only captures echo statement which is not enough. I want to capture the commands executed complete with their associated options and arguments.
