it is traditionally either

(a) a file with no extension, eg "foo"

(b) a file with .sh as the extension, such as "foo.sh"

(c) a file with the type of shell as the extension, eg "foo.ksh"

It can live anywhere or on the PATH. You can say ./foo.sh or myfoo/foo.sh etc.

To make it executeable use "chmod +x foo.sh" to change the executable rights.

NAME
gpt-install - Installs GPT packages. SYNOPSIS
gpt-install [options] [packages or bundles] Options: -verbose Print copious output -help Print usage -man Print man page. -version Print GPT version. -force Replace package no matter what. -loose Replace a broader range of packages. -installdir=PATH Override $GLOBUS_LOCATION. -tmpdir=PATH Path to tmp disk space [packages or bundles] List of binary packages and bundles to install. DESCRIPTION
gpt-install takes a GPT described package or bundle and installs it. The program can install either RPM's or GPT packages. OPTIONS
-force forces all action to be taken, regardless of state. -tmpdir Place to unpack bundles. -installdir Directory to which files shall be written. Default is $GLOBUS_LOCATION -loose pgm packages can replace a pgm_static package (and vice versa) or a pgm package with a different flavor. -help Print a brief help message and exits. -man Prints the manual page and exits. -version Prints the version of GPT and exits. EXAMPLES
For the command: gpt-install foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm.tar.gz foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm will be replaced. foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm will B<not> be replaced. It is newer. foo-1.1-vendorcc32-pgm will B<not> be replaced. Wrong flavor. foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm_static will B<not> be replaced. Wrong package type foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm_static will B<not> be replaced. Wrong package type For the command: gpt-install -force foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm.tar.gz foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm will be replaced. foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm will be replaced. foo-1.1-vendorcc32-pgm will B<not> be replaced. Wrong flavor foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm_static will B<not> be replaced. Wrong package type foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm_static will B<not> be replaced. Wrong package type For the command: gpt-install -loose foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm.tar.gz foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm will be replaced. foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm will B<not> be replaced. It is newer. foo-1.1-vendorcc32-pgm will be replaced. foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced. foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm_static will B<not> be replaced. It is newer. For the command: gpt-install -force -loose foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm.tar.gz foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm will be replaced. foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm will be replaced. foo-1.1-vendorcc32-pgm will be replaced. foo-1.1-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced. foo-2.2-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced. BUGS
gpt-install currently does not honor static build numbers. Instead it will replace any pgm_static package that is the same version or older. For example: gpt-install -force foo-2.1-2-gcc32-pgm_static.tar.gz foo-1.1-5-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced. foo-2.1-1-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced. foo-2.1-5-gcc32-pgm_static will be replaced. foo-2.2-1-gcc32-pgm_static will not be replaced. foo-2.1-gcc32-pgm will not be replaced.
