If stdin is redirected, then /dev/stdin points to that redirected location. Don't you instead want to read from the controlling terminal, /dev/tty? But seriously, trying to do _anything_ interactive in your startup scripts is a recipe for disaster. You are very likely to cause yourself an inability to ssh in to your machine, when the login script outputs data or blocks waiting for input. Startup scripts are supposed to be silent, neither producing nor consuming data, in a typical setup. --=20 Eric Blake eblake@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org --------------enigD5D8C9F73C001534B9E4E5DC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Public key at http://people.redhat.com/eblake/eblake.gpg Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBCAAGBQJL9qvDAAoJEKeha0olJ0NqROkH/1XtmHG1roP65QcmvIIZEXzs rzRzfpkUGKYcOsGTIH16TIOvutvhKxCnK1N3Cs2BFrqp6yzYyjWbtGhIDdw/vlpT O/5bnwgCid64alt9P5Bu8K0zzDC0Nz1588FOiIdfuGlBVlHkF6tBZbPF2yYC/Ye8 mIX7gq/9gBQvURwxcOvueUExpe8tk9PNy863KhlYusvv41pb8CxJxrzkew66EkpT 6UjAmHCCQZnMAVfLjebSkcakfLS+c/Fx9PrNrCPaWdSX/DUCm+ZHzgwVSmhiNTDg iceV7UnrxeQFqEB7joRUHSyzqKn+3HAPOfYNe+1b8KVqWZQfLZtXeq8B/5S8B4Q= =FBWi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigD5D8C9F73C001534B9E4E5DC--
