[OpenIndiana-discuss] extra entry in /etc/hosts after each reboot

[wim at vandenberge.us]

Thanks for the useful responses everyone. As one of the responses I received P2P
mentioned, it turned out to be a fairly welknown issue with the snippet below in
the agent-bootinit.pl script that comes with napp-it and not an OpenIndiana
issue at all.

Regards,

W


# check/update /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1  hostname (old hostname missing)
   my $ok=`hostname`;
   $r=`cat /etc/hosts`; $r=~s/\n+/\n/gs;
   @t=(); @t=split(/\n/,$r);
   foreach my $t (@t) {
        if ($t=~/^127.0.0.1\s+$ok\b/) { $ok="1"; last; }
   }
   if ($ok ne "1") {
        push (@t,"127.0.0.1\t$ok\n");
        $t=join("\n", at t);
        open (PF, ">/etc/hosts");
              print PF "$t";
        close (PF);
   }
