We don't build it using root for security reasons. Therefore it would require intervention to kill the process. -----Original Message----- From: Alexey Proskuryakov [mailto:ap-carbon@rambler.ru] Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2005 12:17 AM To: Akhilesh Patel; installer-dev@lists.apple.com Subject: Re: PackageMaker bug?

I¹ve been having the same problem as discussed on the following thread:

I also see this problem (no, I didn't file a bug, because it doesn't really bother me).

I don¹t know if anyone has made some progress to solving it because it really holding up my development. I run a remote PackageMaker through ssh from a window machine. The problem is that because DiskManagementTool fails to exit, then so sshd also fails to exit and therefore the whole compilation process cannot continue without manual intervention which is never ideal. Anyone know a solution to this?

Why not kill DiskManagementTool automatically from your build script? Some precautions should be of course taken, such as giving it some time to finish whatever it is doing, and checking if it indeed was launched from the same login session. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
