Is there an easy way to choose whether to use JavaScript or shell? I need to do approximately this:

kextstat | perl -e 'while (<>) { exit 1 if /com.test.example \([1-2].*\)/; }'

That is, if a kernel extension called com.test.example is loaded, and if it's version 1.x or 2.x, require a restart. Else, do not require a restart.

This would require a JavaScript script invoking a shell script. And to embed the shell script in the distribution. This is possible for Mac OS X 10.6 and later if you use a flat distribution (can be signed). 10.5 and later if you use a bundle distribution (can not be signed). Regarding the easiness part, it depends on the format or tool you use or if you already know how to embed a script in a flat distribution from the command line. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
