Automating FreeBSD’s crunchgen(1)

Automating FreeBSD’s crunchgen(1)

Hey, Joe…this one’s for you…thanks for reading!

One of my main tasks in my role at work is to maintain FreeBSD provisioning bits. I have found myself generating boot_crunch files with various binaries and what not to extend the capabilities of the provisioning aspect of FreeBSD. So much so that I whipped up a quick script to automate the task for me.

Please bear in mind, it is a quick script which makes a number of assumptions. It’s not perfect and can certainly use some tweaking and the like, but this initial version gets one started.

I keep my boot_crunch.conf in a subversion repo, thus the calls to svn. 

#! /bin/sh
#
# bldcrunch.sh:   Generate a FreeBSD boot_crunch file.  This script does not
#                 function on hosts that are not running FreeBSD.

BTW, I edited this because I found out about wordpress’s sourcecode tag…awesome!
