In this case I want it to run before the package that's also part of the .mpkg runs. My overall question is "where do I put the script, any script" I could find nothing in the doc that told me where.

Thanks,

When do you want/expect this script to run?

Before the package is installed?
After the package is installed?
At some time in the future; perhaps after a reboot, or at the next login?

I am using Apple's PackageMaker v3.0.5 to create a mpkg file that contains three items:

•A shell script
•An Adobe Flash Player .pkg file
•A .cfg file

Everything works except the script. How do I get this script to fire when sending to a remote Mac?

Each item works when tested individually. The test was using Casper Suite's Casper Remote to send each to a remote Mac. The shell script sent, unpackaged fires and deletes three files on the remote Mac, just fine. The adobe Flash .pkg sent the same way installs the Flash Plugin and daemon as expected. The file is the mms.cfg. File that the Adobe Software Update Daemon reads. I've changed the settings of this file to what I want it to be. This file gets placed where I've indicated in the destination field of PackageMaker.

I have changed the permissions on the script to Owner=root and Group=admin which had no affect. The script isn't running. I need to know where in PackageMaker to place the script and how I ensure it runs when sent to a remote Mac.

Thanks,
