I saw the message. Looks good... very helpful and informative IMHO.

Oh, please forgive me. I finally understood what you meant. So you boot Clonezilla live via netboot, and want to run ocs-iso to create a recovery iso file. Yes, in that case, that's true.
Will try to improve ocs-iso and ocs-live-dev based on your patch. Thanks.

Since I have ocs_daemonon="ssh" set, I was logged in via ssh... it makes testing easier. The strange colors are custom for my rxvt-unicode terminal via ~/.Xresources :-)

So the screenshot is of a clonezilla live environment (PXE booted from the network). Naturally, the same problem happens at a console... but, again, only if clonezilla is PXE booted from the network.

I think you should be able to reproduce the problem without much trouble.

So under which GNU/Linux did you run that?
It's recommended to run in Clonezilla live environment, as mentioned here:

You're saying I should be able to create an iso when clonezilla is PXE booted from the network, correct?

I wonder what's causing this error message then?

It's the same thing we use here. We have used the original one in Clonezilla lite server and it does work well. Therefore I do not think this patch is required.
Thanks anyway.

I think it's because the latter looks more like sed or perl to me.
Naturally, this clears things up a fair bit...

Also, assuming the patch is useful, I copy/pasted the following bash string replacement to report the script name:

${0##*/}

but in retrospect, I think this one is more readable:

${0/#*\//}

and may amount to the same thing; I'm certainly not the final authority on bash scripting.
