Hi,

I am quite new to PackageMaker(3.0.2) and have run into a problem with a shell script always returning true.

The script is simple, and simply detects a running application:

#!/bin/sh
if ps auxc | grep -v grep | grep <proc name>; then
exit 1
else
exit 0
fi

I have in raw editing mode:

<installation-check script="pm_install_check();"/>
<script>function pm_install_check() {
if(!(system.run('/Users/andy/devel/qt/putplace/running.sh') == true)) {
my.result.title = 'Update';
my.result.message = 'You will need to close PutPlace before updating';
my.result.type = 'Fatal';
return false;
}
return true;
}
</script>


The question how can get my shell script to return 'false' when the application is not running?

1. Please note that the JavaScript code is incorrect: your script is referenced with an absolute path that won't work within the package. This is a bug which has been reported to Apple.


2. Check that the allow-external-scripts option is set to 'yes' (or 'true').

3. There's a new version of PackageMaker with the latest Dev Tools (3.0.3).
