Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Disable login

[Pablo Antúnez Gómez <pantgom@xxxxxxx>]

Well, I have disabled agetty and now I have not shell, but that is not a 
problem. Then I have added $(ROMFSINST) -a "myapp::/bin/myapp" /etc/inittab 
and I get the following lines:

init: Missing PROCESS field in inittab

I have modified the lines as:
$(ROMFSINST) -a "myapp:unknown:/bin/myapp" /etc/inittab

but I get an error like "respawing too fast".

Have I done anything wrong?

Thanks again.

That's exactly what you can do.  There are some things to keep in mind
if you launch your app from inittab (e.g. init will execute it again
each time it exits), but people are doing it successfully.

You can add a line to the Makefile of your user app, under the romfs:
target, something like this:

romfs:
       $(ROMFSINST) /bin/myapp
       $(ROMFSINST) -a "myapp::/bin/myapp" /etc/inittab

This will add the inittab line automatically during the "make romfs" phase.

Also disable building agetty (in menuconfig -> vendor/user settings ->
Core Applications).

Regards,

John
