RE: running external scripts from rpm install

[Galit Hayat <Galit SofaWare com>]

Thanks James,

The reason I need to run external scripts is that I'm creating a Linux
installation
for a product that already has a Solaris installation and I want to use the
same scripts.
My problem is that I don't know how to include scripts inside the package
without actually 
installing them. Is there a way?

Galit.

Normally, rpm has scriptlets inside the spec file that are 
ran at install time.  These are:

	%pre              - Run before rpm files are installed.
	%post             - Run after rpm files are installed.
	%preun            - Run before rpm files are erased.
	%postun           - Run after rpm files are erased.
 	%triggerin        - Install trigger.
	%triggerun        - uninstall trigger
	%triggerpostun    - postuninstall trigger.

The scripts are normally bash scripts, but you can change the interpreter
with the -p option.

Also, as they are bash scripts you can call external scripts from these.

Cheers...james
