Re: Packages with Shell script fails while installing.
Hi , /usr/bin/killall Firefox command does not work efficiently on all the Mac's. If i include this in script, I doubt it actually kills the app. Thanks, Vishnu -- 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
It's the ps-ef... line that can exit incorrectly. 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.
