### Description The `kamctl` tool seems to require `bash`, while trying to use `/bin/sh`, which can point to `dash` or other shell interpreters. For example, the output of `kamdbctl create`: ``` MySQL password for root: -e \E[37;33mINFO: creating database kamailio_simple_db ... -e \E[37;33mINFO: granting privileges to database kamailio_simple_db ... -e \E[37;33mINFO: creating standard tables into kamailio_simple_db ... -e \E[37;33mINFO: Core Kamailio tables succesfully created. Install presence related tables? (y/n): n /usr/sbin/kamdbctl: 216: /usr/sbin/kamdbctl: Bad substitution ``` It seems that the issue is expanding the variable when getting the answer for y/n question: * https://github.com/kamailio/kamailio/blob/master/utils/kamctl/kamdbctl.base… Such expression seems to be specific for bash: * https://mywiki.wooledge.org/Bashism ### Troubleshooting #### Reproduction Run `kamctl` with `/bin/sh` pointing to `bash`. ### Possible Solutions Decide what to do to have an acceptable solution: enforce `bash`, remove bashisms`... Or maybe focus to make `kamcli` a (full) replacement for `kamctl/kamdbctl` and get rid of those old-style shell/bash scripts: * https://github.com/kamailio/kamcli -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
