hi,

i have an rpm, and i am looking at the presinstall script. i can see it takes in an argument, but what i do not know is how this argument is passed to the script? is there something that...

im not going to get into a tit for tat argument.

What I asked before was
"can you please let me know if rpm --justdb actually just makes rpm think it has installed something when in fact it...

why do people have to try and act like such smart a**es?

I did google, and I did go to that page.

And on that page it said



So from this it is apparent that it is updating the database...

hi,

can you please let me know if rpm --justdb actually just makes rpm think it has installed something when in fact it installs nothing and executes nothing inside the rpm?

thanks

hi,

i am doing

awk '{gsub("hello", "bye", $0); print}' test.dat

but I want to actually store the results of this global change into the file test.dat itself, i.e. I don't want the results...

im working on Sun using ksh.

I can have 10 different copies of the same script in different locations. When the script executes, it needs to find it's location where it is.

$PWD won;t work. That would give me the directory from where I am executing the script, not where the script is.

which wont work, because there will be many scripts with the same name in different locations and they will be executed using many different ways.

Surely there must be a way to execute a script...

pwd gives the location of where I am executing the script from.

My users can execute it from anywhere, so I cant force them to put the absolute path

thanks

hi,

I tried whence $0, but that just gives me the filename relative to where I am executing the script from. I need to get the full pathname.

thanks

many thanks, that helped, and I also found out my version is Version M-11/16/88i :)
