Hello, I've observer when using 'uml_mconsole exec' that the command returns almost immediately, indepently of the time taken performing the command issued. For example, considering /tmp/foo a very big file (100MB, for example) existing in the virtual machine filesystem, when issuing in host:
uml_mconsole exec cp /tmp/foo /tmp/bar the uml_mconsole command returns almost instantantly (less than a second) with OK The command has been started successfully but the actual copying takes several (ten or more seconds), as can be check in the virtual machine enviroment (for example, 'ps axf' shows the cp command running for a while). I understand that this maybe is the expected beaviour (after all, from the point of view of uml_mconsole, all it has to do is create a new sh enviroment in background in the virtual machine and launch the command inside). However, I would know if someone has thought or developed any workaround to execute commands in virtual machines though mconsole exec returning only when the command has finished (resembling a conventional 'cp /tmp/foo /tmp/bar', that only returns when it has finished or has been interrupted). Thanks in advance!
