Hi all, I was trying to add entries to a remote database on OpenWrt and kamctl (address add ...) seemed to just hang there. A bit of digging showed that it prompted for a password, but I couldn't see it because it redirected the prompt to /dev/stderr, which doesn't exist on every system. This patch addresses thist. Use portable "#!/bin/sh" shebang. This may still be a symlink to bash (or some other shell). Also replace the redirection to "/dev/stderr" with a POSIX redirection to stderr. "/dev/stderr" is not available on all systems and is also not recognized by all shells (example: ash). On systems without a working "/dev/stderr" the user will not see the prompts etc. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Kemper &lt;sebastian_ml(a)gmx.net&gt; <!-- Kamailio Pull Request Template --> <!-- IMPORTANT: - for detailed contributing guidelines, read: https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/master/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md - pull requests must be done to master branch, unless they are backports of fixes from master branch to a stable branch - backports to stable branches must be done with 'git cherry-pick -x ...' - code is contributed under BSD for core and main components (tm, sl, auth, tls) - code is contributed GPLv2 or a compatible license for the other components - GPL code is contributed with OpenSSL licensing exception --> #### Pre-Submission Checklist <!-- Go over all points below, and after creating the PR, tick all the checkboxes that apply --> <!-- All points should be verified, otherwise, read the CONTRIBUTING guidelines from above--> <!-- If you're unsure about any of these, don't hesitate to ask on sr-dev mailing list --> - [ ] Commit message has the format required by CONTRIBUTING guide - [ ] Commits are split per component (core, individual modules, libs, utils, ...) - [ ] Each component has a single commit (if not, squash them into one commit) - [ ] No commits to README files for modules (changes must be done to docbook files in `doc/` subfolder, the README file is autogenerated) #### Type Of Change - [ ] Small bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) - [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds new functionality) - [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would change existing functionality) #### Checklist: <!-- Go over all points below, and after creating the PR, tick the checkboxes that apply --> - [ ] PR should be backported to stable branches - [ ] Tested changes locally - [ ] Related to issue #XXXX (replace XXXX with an open issue number) #### Description <!-- Describe your changes in detail --> You can view, comment on, or merge this pull request online at: https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/pull/1815 -- Commit Summary -- * kamctl: keep it POSIX -- File Changes -- M utils/kamctl/kamctl (2) M utils/kamctl/kamctl.base (6) M utils/kamctl/kamctl.sqlbase (4) M utils/kamctl/kamdbctl (2) -- Patch Links -- https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/pull/1815.patch https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/pull/1815.diff -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
