/var/hack# prompt help?

[bobsackamano]

Hello
I have a DSR6000, installed 25xtreme(well 99% anyhow) and the xupgrade(seems to work-did the phone hack). Here is where I am running into problems, I am using tera term pro and with a serial cable. When I fire it up I get the line "/var/hack#" . I am trying to get to the bash prompt to send and remove a file but I am lost now and dont want to fudge it up...Any insight?

TIA

I got the fix for you.

Type this in your "/var/hack#" prompt so you can get a bash prompt.

PS1="bash#"

Thanks for the help
So I should type it in like this "/var/hack#PS1=bash#" then hit enter?

Just trying to take it slow and not mess it up!!

[vu2vu]

It should look like this

/var/hack#PS1="bash#"

Then you can try this

/var/hack#PS1="wasjustajoke#"

Then try this

/var/hack#PS1="onlycosmetic#"

Hit enter after each one.

Thank you !
I now have "bash#" ,now I need to figure out how to remove and replace a file in a different directory. This is what I was instructed to do to remove and replace the file I need.
code


When I type in cd/ get no such file or directory?

There is no reason to be poking at any .btl files. DSS hacking is not allowed on this forum.

Your welcome on the bash prompt though.

Next time try this:

/var/hack#PS1="bash-prompt#"

Sorry I was not my intention to hack dss ,just poking around and learning.No disrespect intended.

Thanks again for the help

Still trying to learn when change the "/var/hack#" prompt to "/var/hack#PS1="bash#" I end up with "bash#" from what I have been reading it needs to be "bash-2.02#" correct?
I still cannot /cd at the "bash#" prompt? Any suggestions?

You need to Google search for a Bash Primer and sit down and read it. Highly recommended.

Isn't this the forum where people aren't supposed to get flamed for asking questions that may seem like common knowledge to most TiVo hackers?

bobsack, I do not own a DSR6000 and I am not sure why you need a "bash" prompt to do what you need to do, but the easiest way to get a bash prompt is to type "bash" (sans quotes) at your current prompt. That should give you a bash prompt. If it doesn't then type "/bin/bash" (again sans quotes) at your current prompt and you should be looking at the bash prompt you have been looking for.

BTW, chevy the default prompt is a bourne shell not bash. vu2vu changing the bourne prompt (even if you were just trying to be funny) still won't make it a bash shell.

If you want to know what type of shell your TiVo is running when you login type "echo $SHELL". If it returns /bin/sh , which I am guessing most TiVos will then you are not running bash, you are running bourne.
