You can't reliably (or portably) check if you are in a chroot. You could (for example) check for the existance of /etc/debian_chroot. However, this is not guaranteed to be present. It might even be present on the host system if it is also used as a chroot under some circumstances. > I need this to prevent hal from starting in buildd chroots (via > invoke-rc.d from postinst) as it breaks there because of several > reasons, including no /sys mounted. Well, in that case simply check if /sys is mounted before starting it, perhaps even in the init script. Rather than checking you are in a chroot, check for the conditions required to run hal before running it. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
