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

It seems I might have simply missed an "exit 0" at the end of the script.


Can I assume foo is running with admin privileges since the package is tagged with "Require Admin"?

If things have not changed, the script is run by root. InstallationCheck and VolumeCheck are run using the current user account.
