Redhat – How to Run Script on RHEL5 Server’s First Boot

linuxredhatrhel5

How can I run a script on the first book of my rhel 5 server after install.

I am using post kickstart tasks to create a script and I'd like to run it the first time the server boots. How can I do this?

I'd like to use the "firstboot" service

How to Check Your RHEL Version

You can use the lsb_release command on various Linux distributions:

lsb_release -i -r

This will tell you the Distribution and Version and is a little bit more accurate than accessing files that may or may not have been modified by the admin or a software package. As well as working across multiple distros.

For RHEL, you should use:

cat /etc/redhat-release
