I have a command-line program that needs admin privileges in my
installer package's Resources folder. I want to run this program

This particular package is a sub-package of a metapackage.
The program ("foo") is in the sub-package's Resources folder.
My preupgrade script (also in Resources) basically just does this:
[preflight]
#!/bin/sh
$1/Contents/Resources/foo
But when I run my installer, it exits with an error but doesn't tell
me what went wrong.
What am I missing?
For one, double quotes around your path, in case there's a space in it.
Ah, good point. FWIW, I was basing my code on examples I found in the
Apple documentation.
Another tip: you can log into the installer log using the command line
tool 'logger -p install.debug'
I tried this, but it didn't print anything. Is it sending the output
somewhere else (other than the terminal)?
Thanks for the tips!
