make buildworld left on screen.

[bryn1u]

Hi,

I was wondering, when do I know if my kernel was compiled well, without errors or something else? I I left make buildworld in screen and I do not know how well this compiled because when I use the command screen -x I get

There is no screen

My logs say nothing

Hello,
I'm not quite sure I follow you exactly. But it sounds like you are saying you have a blank screen (Monitor). I'd have to guess you logged in, to initiate the buildworld process. If you can type screen within your terminal. Why don't you type in the who() command. This will give you a little information as to what's going on, and what "screen" you're on, if any. If you're curious as to whether buildworld has finished, top(), or ps() should give you some hints.

HTH

Hey,

Thanks for replay

By screen I mean the command screen make buildworld.

root@ks3360102:/usr/src # screen make buildworld
[detached]

I want to know how to check that my kernel compiled correctly without any errors. I can't read it from the logs because they don't exist.

Greetz,

Hello.
Ahh. Well, then just switch through them, until you find the one you started buildworld on. CTL+ALT+F1-8. In other words; CTL+ALT+F1 - CTL+ALT+F8. It should be on one of them.

Best wishes.

Can't I add this process to some file.txt? Example screen make buildworld | cat > file.txt. I have no idea if it works but I wanted to marked what I mean

You can use script(1).

screen script /tmp/buildworld.log make -C /usr/src buildworld

Speaking screen a mean command screen make buildworld.

root@ks3360102:/usr/src # screen make buildworld

I want to know how check that my kernel compiled correct without any errors. I can't read it from logs becouse they don't exist.

Running it like that actually exits screen when make buildworld is finished. First run screen then, once screen started, run make buildworld. That way you can always reconnect as screen will keep running when the build is finished.
