Subject: [PATCH] installer: fix race condition with multiple consoles running unattended
Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 07:45:06 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260218124506.399124-1-badrikesh.prusty@siemens.com> (raw)

* Add lockfile `/tmp/installer.lock` to prevent simultaneous unattended
  installs across multiple consoles.
* Add progress monitoring for installations started in another console
  via progress pipe.
* Periodically check if bmaptool is still running when progress pipe is
  unavailable and continue once bmaptool completes.

This resolves the race condition between consoles and prevents issues
with long-running or partially completed installations.
