[uml-devel] linuxenv.bash (for <= uml-2.6.7-1)

[Werner Almesberger <wa@almesberger.net>]

Here's a little script that I wrote for running experiments in a
UML kernel. The idea is that I want to get into the UML system
quickly, share my original environment, and run things from a
script (which may or may not eventually fire up a shell).

http://www.almesberger.net/misc/uml/linuxenv.bash

The script propagates the following things into the UML system:

 - the host's file system, through hostfs
 - all variables (including local ones) defined when invoking
   linuxenv.bash
 - the current directory in the host file system

An example script that just starts a shell would look like this:

#!/bin/sh
. linuxenv.bash "$@"
export PS1='\w\$ '
exec /bin/sh

http://www.almesberger.net/misc/uml/linuxsh

Note that linuxenv.bash may not work with kernels before 2.6.4,
and - due to the hostfs changes - doesn't work yet with
uml-2.6.7-2, or above.
