<FONT color=#0c0c0c>I call up a file named "startnos". Here it is</FONT><BR>

<!--StartFragment --><FONT color=#0c0c0c>I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.1<BR><BR>I tried using tty5 as my test console. Still no joy.<BR><BR>First, Ubuntu would not run "startnos" until I manually flagged it an executable file.<BR><BR>Then in my "startnos file" I had to comment out the line "export TERM=linux". Ubuntu doesn't seem to like it from inside "startnos".<BR><BR>Then, I also had to comment out the "sleep 1". When running from the "startnos" Ubuntu also does not like it.<BR><BR>Although, if I'm at the terminal command line myself and type either one manually, Ubuntu seems fine with them. Go figure.<BR><BR>So, from tty5 (brought up by f5) I can "cd /jnos" and then can also "<B>.</B>/startnos" and JNOS boots up.<BR>If I "exit" JNOS, it does not respawn in tty5 at all. I just get dropped back to the /jnos directory at the command line.<BR><BR>When I change the <I><U>tty5.conf</U></I> file to attempt to kick JNOS on boot, (since I can manually do it from the command line as above) I can access tty1 through tty4, and tty6 and tty7(GUI). tty5 is just has a blinking cursor line with nothing happening....ever.<BR></FONT><BR>
<FONT color=#0c0c0c>Here is my revised tty5.conf file</FONT><BR>

<FONT color=#0c0c0c>=====================================</FONT><BR>
<FONT color=#0c0c0c> <BR>
I know I'm close. Just cant seem to get tty5 to run JNOS<BR>
<BR>
Also, I'm new to linux, so all of this is a huge learning curve for me.<BR>

I install it into /opt then modify /etc/iniitab to use console 5 as the JNOS console with “c5:1235:respawn:/opt/jnos/startnos /dev/tty5” in place of the usual line for console 5. Works fine. If I need to I kill it and it automatically respawns.</SPAN></P>

<P class=ecxMsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri','sans-serif'">What we do is run a script that is executed from /etc/rc.local. This is run at boot time. The script calls JNOS in a the “screen” command, so that we can attach/detach to the console from any terminal. The script also executes in a loop which tests the exit code of JNOS and, if not 0, restarts it. Works FB.</SPAN></P>
