I needed a quick way to signal back to the kickstart server that my
install was done and to boot from the hard drive next time. Or, PXEboot
and then fall through to booting off the hard drive. So, I wrote a quick
and simple script. In the %post clause, I have:
echo "done" | telnet 192.168.200.8 46758
Here's the script:
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'socket'
server = TCPserver.new('0.0.0.0', 46758)
while (session = server.accept)
text = session.gets
puts text
# p session.peeraddr
addr = ""
session.peeraddr[3].split('.').each { |n| addr += sprintf("%02.2X",
n.to_i) }
p addr
begin
base = "/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/#{addr}"
File.rename(base, base + ".done")
rescue SystemCallError
puts "Error occurred renaming #{base}"
end
session.close
end
Yeah, lots of stuff hardcoded. Enjoy.

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.
