Guru vino & tomas:-)

What you say seems to make sense to me- that specific pkg takes the longest of all. I made a workaround to make it the last one to be installed- however, I know I have to put into some safety measure in between of any 2 pkgs installations based on what you said.

One thing I have to mention, I do have controls in the loop I omitted earlier just to simplify the example. I validate entries in the line & check returning from the installpkg commond- pkgadd - etc, but there was no error whatsoever.

invoking them in the backgroud may work, but I need to display & save the screen shots of the whole process to a log, as well, some pkgs have interactive prompts.

Perhaps the command pkgadd is asynchronous?

repair_packages(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					repair_packages(8)

NAME

     repair_packages -- verify or repair filesystem permissions and flags for packages.

SYNOPSIS

     repair_packages [arguments]

DESCRIPTION

     repair_packages is used by Disk Utility to verify or repair permissions on installed packages.

ARGUMENTS

     --volume	   Perform all operations on the specified volume or home directory.  The root volume '/' will be used if unspecified.

     --list-standard-pkgs
		   Output the list of package-id strings corresponding to receipts in the installer's receipt database that will be verified or
		   repaired by the --standard-pkgs flag.

     --verify	   Verify the specified package(s).

     --repair	   Repair the specified package(s).

     --pkg package-id
		   Add the specified package to the list of packages to verify or repair.

     --standard-pkgs
		   Add the standard packages to the list of packages to verify or repair.  Use --list-standard-pkgs to view this list.

     --output-format #
		   Use a special output format selected by #. Different output formats may be optimized for human or machine readability. The
		   default output-format is '0', and is a verbose, human-readable format.

NOTES

     repair_packages only runs on 10.6 or later systems. To verify or repair permissions on earlier systems, reboot with a Tiger or Leopard system
     disk and verify or repair permissions with the repair_packages version on that disk.

BUGS

     repair_packages does not verify file contents or restore missing files; It can only verify or repair filesystem permissions.
