RE: Hardware check before installing a rpm

["Sateesh" <sahegde cisco com>]

Thanks Tres,
I tried that in %pre and in the case of condition failure gave a exit 1.
That works fine, but I get the message 
"error: %pre(ABC-1.1-b13p1) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping ABC-1.1-b13p1"

Is it possible to suppress this error message and give my own message ??

Regards
Sateesh

The interesting one in your case is '%pre'.  Check out the online 
version of Maximum RPM for details.
