Good morning all,
I am creating an installer package using PackageMaker 3.0.2 from the command
line.
I am running a postinstall script that overall seems to work well (it is
triggered and most of its commands are carried out.)
The problem lies in the fact that I am trying to copy a launch daemon plist
from the package to /Library/LaunchDaemons, and I cannot seem to find the
proper syntax to tell the script where the launch daemon plist is located in
the installer.
Things are laid out like this (examining the package with Pacifist):
engine.pkg
pkgbaseengine.pkg
scripts
postinstall
Resources
launch daemon plist
In my postinstall script, I am using the following line to try and place the
launch daemon plist in the appropriate place which so far fails:
sudo ditto ../Resources/com.company.launchd.engine_osx.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/
As of right now, I do not know how to properly identify the starting
location of the launch daemon to be able to copy it into the
/Library/LaunchDaemons directory.
I really appreciate any and all thoughts!
TIA,
Steve O'Sullivan
