[arm-allstar] bug in admin.sh

Dave and Doug,

I have encountered a bug in admin.sh that will only occur if you are using
a local display and usb
keyboard and not connected to a network.

When I login, I get logged right back out.  I can not login unless I'm
connected to a network.

The issue is where "myip" is being set only if the IP is not 127.0.0.1.
Since I am not connected to the network, my IP will be 127.0.0.1 in which
case "myip" is blank.

* myip=$(/sbin/ifconfig | awk -F "[: ]+" '/inet / { if ($3 != "127.0.0.1")
printf ("%s, ", $3) }')*

I am not sure yet but I think the error part is from "myip" being blank in
the selection function.
When "myip" is blank, RET = 1 and the menus exits, logging me out.
When I set "myip" to 127.0.0.1 in admin.sh, the menu loads.

I am not sure 100% how the selection function is working, but if "myip" is
blank it will logout before it even draws the menu on the screen.










* while true; do                $SOFF                selection=$($D
--no-tags --colors --title "\Zb\Z1Admin Menu List for: $HOSTNAME
(${myip::-2})\Zn" --ok-label "Run Selected Item" --cancel-label "Exit /
Logout" --menu "Please select:" 23 79 17 "${MENU[@]}" 3>&1- 1>&2-
2>&3-)                RET=$?                if [ $RET -ne 0 ] ;
then                        NEEDBOOT=LOGOUT
break;                fi                script=${SCRIPT_LIST[$*




*selection]}                if [ -f "$script" ];
then                        $script
VAL=$?                        if [ $VAL -eq 10 ] ; then         ### Reboot

*  break                        fi                fi        done        if
[ "$NEEDBOOT" != "RELOAD" ] ; then         ### break from inner
loop!                break;        fi        NEEDBOOT=NOdone*
