In the end I'd like to be able to run a custom interpreter and just feed
it one command and a directory. The end result in the kickstart
something like this:
%post --interpreter #!/usr/bin/myinterpreter
DROP /tmp/directory
DROP /tmp/directory2
How would I setup the interpreter to take the DROP command? I've been
reading and searching all day but I haven't found anything close to what
I'm doing. I realize that using custom commands in this case is overkill
but in the end is used to make the users life easier. If anyone can
point me to some documentation I would be more than grateful.
I'm not sure I understand what you're doing, but maybe you'll find the
following somewhat useful:
>>> import code
>>> class MyInterpreter(code.InteractiveConsole):
... def raw_input(self, prompt=None):
... # override input function
... while 1:
... text = raw_input(prompt)
... if text.startswith("DROP"):
... # deal with custom command
... print "CUSTOM DROP COMMAND", text
... else:
... return text
...
>>> i = MyInterpreter()
>>> i.interact()
Python 2.5.2 [...]
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
(MyInterpreter)
>>> print "hello"
hello
>>> DROP something
CUSTOM DROP COMMAND DROP something
>>> x = 10
>>> y = 20
>>> x + y
30
>>> DROP something else
CUSTOM DROP COMMAND DROP something else
>>>
</F>
