My kickstart script is like this:



%pre --log=/tmp/log
wget --no-check-certificate http://192.168.2.33/file
[ $? -eq 0 -a -f file ] && tar --ignore-failed-read -xzvf file
....
%end


wget command fails as the file is not available in the server. Now, I want the script to be stopped executing the installation any further and fails immediately when it sees any error with the corresponding error message showing up on the terminal screen



I stumbled upon this option --erroronfail but it only shows the Python exception traceback calls in the console without the actual error string to show to the user why it is failed.



I have tried the following ways:



%pre --interpreter /bin/sh --log=/tmp/log --erroronfail
exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3
chvt 3
wget --no-check-certificate http://192.168.2.33/file
[ $? -eq 0 -a -f file ] && tar --ignore-failed-read -xzvf file
chvt 1
%end


and as below too



%pre --interpreter /bin/sh --log=/tmp/log --erroronfail
exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3
chvt 3
wget --no-check-certificate http://192.168.2.33/file 2>&1 | /usr/bin/tee -a /tmp/log
chvt 1
%end


Nothing gives me the expected result
