You can add your modified wall executable to your package resources and use it. e.g. macpro:~ stephane$ sudo echo "Compacting trash..." | /Users/stephane/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/wall-e-btvgbaqrikqzcqavrorrfufgpfiw/Build/Products/Debug/wall-e Compacting trash...

Thank you for your suggestion, Stephane. It definitely does what I want it to do, but since it also displays the broadcast text, I don’t think it’s a solution I can use.

Thanks, Lora

Maybe not a good suggestion (but at least it does output something to the terminal(s)):

#!/bin/sh

/bin/echo "This is an installation announcement." | /usr/bin/wall

exit 0

Hi,

I have a postinstall script in my package. I’d like for it to echo something to the terminal if the user runs

sudo installer -pkg <pathToPkg> -target /

I see that the echo command in my postinstall script outputs to /var/log/install.log, and I can have it echo to a separate file also by using

2>&1 | tee -a "$logFile”

However, can I output it to Terminal?

Also, is there a way to pass a custom parameter to the installer command to be used by the postinstall script?

Thanks in advanced.
