[SOLVED]Cannot Install UnMenu

[jtech007]

Steps taken:

 

unraid installed on memory stick

can boot to server via browser on //tower

copied unmenu_install file to unmenu folder (not boot/unmenu)

get to login prompt and go to root

type: cd /boot/unmenu

then type: unmenu_install -i -d /boot/unmenu

 

For some reason it is not downloading the file to the server/memory stick

 

I get:

 

Usage: Then the syntax (aka what I just typed) and the description of what each -x function does

 

What am I doing wrong? Is the program not downloading or

 

Thanks,

Anyone?

we need to see exactly what you typed, and exactly what it printed in response.

 

In general, if it is printing back to you a list of options, you mis-typed an option and it does not recognize it.

 

To simplify.

just type

 

cd /boot/unmenu

ls  -l

 

you should see the unmenu_install program you put there.

 

Then type:

unmenu_install  -i

Here is what I have tried so far (pasted from putty)

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

root@MEDIA:~# cd /boot/unmenu

root@MEDIA:/boot/unmenu# ls -l

total 16

-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13228 Dec  4  2010 unmenu_install*

root@MEDIA:/boot/unmenu# unmenu_install -i

You must specify a directory for the unmenu files. Typically this will be /boot/unmenu

Use -d directory on the command line to specify a directory.

root@MEDIA:/boot/unmenu# unmenu_install -i-d /boot/unmenu

Usage: ./unmenu_install [ -d directory ] [-h] [-i] [-c] [-u] [-l release_list_url] [-s google_svn_archive_url] [-L]

  -i = install unMENU, if -d directory option not specified, it will be installed in /boot/unmenu

  -c = check if update needed. List files needing update.

  -u = Update unMENU with files from release_list.

 

  -l release_list_url = use release_list at release_list_url

  echo  -s google_svn_archive_url = use url for google svn archive

  -L = use release_list in /var/log/release_list

  -h = get this help message

  -v = print version of this file

root@MEDIA:/boot/unmenu#

I know it's something simple, just rusty with my command structure.

Put a space between the -i and -d.

[jtech007]

Put a space between the -i and -d.

 

Bingo! That did it. I knew it was something simple!

 

Thanks to Joe for the great program/help and Jonathan for the quick reply!
