ISSUE-GENERATOR(8)

📦 version 1.13, in opensuse-leap 16.0

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the issue-generator(8) page! This whole little universe covers issue-generator, issue-add-ssh-keys.service, issue-generator.service, 90-issue-generator.rules, and issue-generator.conf — and what they do is create a volatile and temporary issue file. Periodt 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

/usr/sbin/issue-generator [--prefix path] [--help]

/usr/sbin/issue-generator network add | remove interface

/usr/sbin/issue-generator ssh add | remove

/usr/sbin/issue-generator --version

issue-add-ssh-keys.service

issue-generator.service

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So issue-generator creates a volatile and temporary issue(5) file based on the input files and location specified in issue.d(5). It’s giving “I make the issue file, but make it temporary and volatile” 💫

If you invoke it with no arguments, it applies all valid input files and creates a temporary issue file as /run/issue. And yes, /etc/issue should be a symlink to this file. Slay 🎀

Heads up, bestie: backup files ending in *.bak, *~, or *.rpm* are ignored. Same energy for files ending in *.issue, because those are directly shown by agetty(8). No cap 🫶

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --prefix path — Adds the prefix path to all used directories and files. Cute and useful 💖
  • network add|remove interface — Creates or deletes files of the format /run/issue.d/70-interface.conf. That file contains the name of the interface and the escape codes for agetty(8) to insert the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Network magic, fr fr ✨

By default, only network interfaces where the name starts with 'b' or 'e' are added. Which interfaces are shown is configurable via a regex expression in the variable NETWORK_INTERFACE_REGEX in /etc/sysconfig/issue-generator. Iykyk 👑

  • ssh add|remove — Creates or deletes the file /run/issue.d/60-ssh_host_keys.conf, which contains fingerprints of the public ssh keys of the host. Secure little fingerprint moment 🔐

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

Go read those too, bestie — cross-referencing is main character energy 📚💅
