"-p poweroff" not working wi...

[flyfoxuk]

Hi there,

I'm currently booting Clonezilla of a USB stick to run the following command to clone the disk:

append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live config  noswap nolocales edd=on nomodeset noprompt ocs_live_run="ocs-onthefly --batch -p poweroff -g auto -e1 auto -e2 -j2 -f sda -t sdb" ocs_live_extra_param="" ocs_live_keymap="NONE" ocs_live_batch="yes" ocs_lang="en_US.UTF-8" vga=788 ip=frommedia  nosplash

At the end of the cloning process I am trying to get it to poweroff the machine (so it's a fully automated clone from startup to shutdown) but I can't get it to auto poweroff the machine even with the "-p poweroff" option above.

I note from this page http://drbl.sourceforge.net/one4all/techrpt.php?c=ocs-onthefly&t=Clone%20disk%20or%20partition%20on-the-fly that the -p option is actually for the port number.

Is there an alternative parameter to specify to force a poweroff?  At the moment, the cloning finishes and shows "Now you can choose to: (0) Poweroff (1) Reboot (2) Enter command line prompt (3) Start over" and waits for user input.

Many thanks for any guidance,

FlyFox.

Thanks for asking this question.
We will add an option to ocs-onthefly about this. For the time being, you can use the boot parameter "ocs_live_postrun", e.g.
ocs_live_postrun="poweroff"

Please let us know the results.

Steven.

Hi Steven,

Your suggestion of ocs_live_postrun="poweroff" did not work.  It still comes up with the 4 options to select at the end of the clone process.  Do you have any other suggestion I can try?

Hi Steven,

I eventually found the command that worked:

 ocs_postrun="sudo poweroff"

Many thanks!

OK, cool.
In the future version of ocs-onthefly, an option "-pa" option will be added so that it's easier to deal with this issue.
Thanks for asking this question again.

Steven.
