When the script is initialized using option 6 or when a new virtual machine is added, the following lines are added:

...

# Parameter $1: contains full path to cfg file
# Parameter $2: contains full path to emulator exe file

# Important notes:
# - comments & commands must be on separate lines
# - respect the structure of the file with case/in/esac

One of the blue colored lines above has to be uncommented depending on the method chosen. Other lines can remain in the script or can be deleted.

  • If the "Main Menu" prompt is found, the "exit" command is sent to stop the emulator.
  • If the "ISL>" prompt is found, a "reset" command is sent then waits for the "Main Menu" prompt and sends the "exit" command is sent to stop the emulator.
  • (warning) If the console is locked from an external connection or if the prompt is not detected after sending a carriage return, the expect script will fail.

charon_gstop_rsh

  • Check the guest can be reached via ping, if yes:

    • Issue the shutdown command via "rsh" (depends on the operating system),

    • Wait for a few seconds

    • Check if the guest can be "pinged" and repeat with an interval of 5 seconds

    • If the guest cannot be pinged, assume the shutdown procedure is complete

  • Kill the emulator process and reset the service state. (question) The shutdown commands does not power off nor stop the emulator process, that's why this operation is needed

  • Report the stop information within the guest log file

Script example:

(lightbulb) In this example, we use "ssh" to display the guest "uptime".

...

# cp /opt/charon/utils/charon_gstart.chkrun.example /opt/charon/utils/charon_gstart.chkrun
# chmod 744 /opt/charon/utils/charon_gstart.chkrun
# vim /opt/charon/utils/charon_gstart.chkrun

...

Example:

#!/bin/sh
