For instance when there's no Firefox process running. #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/killall Firefox /bin/rm -rf /Applications/Firefox.app exit 0 seems to work fine. Side note: I'm not a big fan of killing and removing files in the Installation Check requirements though because if the installation is not run, then you have lost your Firefox application instance. I would rather do that in the pre-installation script. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

Hi Stephane , It's actually a typo error :-) # is actually on the same line as !bin/sh. Not sure what's causing the script to fail during installation. Any other suggestions ?

Because if it's the same in your script, you have found your culprit. _______________________________________________ -- vishnu _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Packages with Shell script fails while installing.
by vishnu kulkarni 03 Jul '12

Hi , I have used Packages from Sudre. I'm little bit confused here, I have built firefox package using the (HW/SW) Checks within the packages. I'm running into problem when I use *Result of external Script* Installation fails. The script includes condition to find and kill Firefox if it's running and next condition is to remove Firefox.app from Applications folder before installing. However when I include only one condition ( Either of them, to kill or to remove) package works perfectly without any errors. Where Am I going wrong? Kindly suggest. I have pasted the Script which I have used. !/bin/sh # ps -ef | awk '/Firefox/ && !/awk/ {print $2}'|xargs kill -9 # /bin/rm -rf /Applications/Firefox.app exit 0 Thanks, Vishnu _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

You can't embed a flat distribution inside a flat distribution. This was possible with metapackages (as it was how the choices hierarchy was built). Not with distribution. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

IIRC, doing ti like this means that the flat package will be installed (as if it was the payload itself). _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.

Distributed package with multiple packages including preinstall script built into the package contents directly.
by vishnu kulkarni 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

I have created a package including Actions menu within Packagemaker. I have noticed in the PKG contents under the packages I do see actually two packages created. One is the original pkg and the other one being Preflight pkg. It has script included in it. I have modified the script to kill the app and trash the app before installing. Is it best practice to include multiple packages within a package to just kill the app and trash the app before installing new one?
