Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting over ride scripts? Post 302342158 by myriad360 on Friday 7th of August 2009 02:41:44 PM

Well, perhaps I need to rephrase that. I don't want them to install things where ./configure will normally install things. I want to keep the installs going into a special directory. It is part of a package manager app that keeps track of old installs, etc, so multiple version of say perl can be used. So if the user says:
./configure
make
make install

-> that needs to install in $HOME/apps/metapackage/packagename/packageversion

--so it is not particularly the user say, but the application used by that user, that needs to set all this up for them. The application take conf files the user specifies, and interprets how to do installs for them, by the user specifying install commands in the conf file (./configure, make, make install, etc). When using the app, the user will then lose their power to install anywhere. The application makes them install in a particular area. Otherwise, they need to not use the app.

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
installsieve DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server. OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output. -l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script. -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services. -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since sieve names may not contain a '.'. -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option.. -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>. -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen. -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten. -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user. CMU
