Option to execute a command?


  • Subject: Option to execute a command?

I'm just starting out with PackageMaker 3.0 (OSX 10.6.7), and by using the (outdated) Apple documentation I have been able to build a package, but I need to run a command before and after the installation to tell launchctl to first unload any existing version of the app, then afterwards to load the newly installed version.

In the Actions tab for the distribution, I see "Preinstall Actions" and "Postinstall Actions", but I don't see the option to execute a command anywhere. How does one do this?

Thx
