One common problem reported on the mailing list is the "can't
|
|
|
|
access tty; job control turned off" error message, which typically
|
|
|
|
appears when one tries to use a shell with stdin/stdout on
|
|
|
|
/dev/console.
|
2011-04-03 18:31:00 +00:00
|
|
|
This device is special - it cannot be a controlling tty.
|
|
|
|
|
2011-10-21 23:08:45 +00:00
|
|
|
The proper solution is to use the correct device instead of
|
|
|
|
/dev/console.
|
2011-04-03 18:31:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2011-10-21 23:08:45 +00:00
|
|
|
cttyhack provides a "quick and dirty" solution to this problem.
|
2011-04-03 18:31:00 +00:00
|
|
|
It analyzes stdin with various ioctls, trying to determine whether
|
|
|
|
it is a /dev/ttyN or /dev/ttySN (virtual terminal or serial line).
|
2011-10-21 23:08:45 +00:00
|
|
|
On Linux it also checks sysfs for a pointer to the active console.
|
|
|
|
If cttyhack is able to find the real console device, it closes
|
|
|
|
stdin/out/err and reopens that device.
|
|
|
|
Then it executes the given program. Opening the device will make
|
2011-04-03 18:31:00 +00:00
|
|
|
that device a controlling tty. This may require cttyhack
|
|
|
|
to be a session leader.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example for /etc/inittab (for busybox init):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
::respawn:/bin/cttyhack /bin/sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Starting an interactive shell from boot shell script:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
setsid cttyhack sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Giving controlling tty to shell running with PID 1:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# exec cttyhack sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Without cttyhack, you need to know exact tty name,
|
|
|
|
and do something like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# exec setsid sh -c 'exec sh </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1'

This option causes busybox shells to use busybox applets
|
2009-05-25 13:52:31 +00:00
|
|
|
in preference to executables in the PATH whenever possible. For
|
2005-03-06 03:34:52 +00:00
|
|
|
example, entering the command 'ifconfig' into the shell would cause
|
2009-05-25 13:52:31 +00:00
|
|
|
busybox to use the ifconfig busybox applet. Specifying the fully
|
2005-03-06 03:34:52 +00:00
|
|
|
qualified executable name, such as '/sbin/ifconfig' will still

execute the /sbin/ifconfig executable on the filesystem. This option
|
2006-04-04 19:24:40 +00:00

is generally used when creating a statically linked version of busybox
|
2005-03-06 03:34:52 +00:00

for use as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your system.

This is implemented by re-execing /proc/self/exe (typically)
|
|
|
|
with right parameters. Some selected applets ("NOFORK" applets)
|
|
|
|
can even be executed without creating new process.
|
|
|
|
Instead, busybox will call <applet>_main() internally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, this causes problems in chroot jails without mounted /proc
|
|
|
|
and with ps/top (command name can be shown as 'exe' for applets
|
|
|
|
started this way).

fork/exec/wait sequence, but call <applet>_main directly,

this is not possible in pipes).
