I'm having a little trouble with a Solaris package build/install.
I have the following entries in my prototype file...
Code:
# Interfaces file - all versions installed and auto linked to installation type...
f none $OPTDIR/config/interfaces.DEV 0444 $OWNER $GROUP
f none $OPTDIR/config/interfaces.UA 0444 $OWNER $GROUP
f none $OPTDIR/config/interfaces.PROD 0444 $OWNER $GROUP
# Link interfaces to the correct installation type...
x none $OPTDIR 0755 $OWNER $GROUP
s none $OPTDIR/interfaces=config/interfaces.$PACKAGE_TYPE
PACKAGE_TYPE is determined by the request script at install time and takes a value of DEV, UA or PROD, so I then want to use that to link my interfaces file to the correct version during installation.
Unfortunately, after installation I get...
Code:
> ls -l interfaces
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Oct 6 12:53 interfaces -> config/interfaces.$PACKAGE_TYPE
From what I can tell in the manual, both source and target paths in a symbolic link entry should expand variables, so does anyone have any idea why mine isn't?

After much messing about, I've determined that this...
Code:
s none $OPTDIR/interfaces=config/$PACKAGE_TYPE
works but this
Code:
s none $OPTDIR/interfaces=config/interfaces.$PACKAGE_TYPE
doesn't.
It seems this is another example of where the Solaris install works in a shell-like manner but doesn't have full shell functionality.
My solution has been to perform the linking with a postinstall script which works fine. However, that creates an extra file that the original install doesn't know about, so pkgrm doesn't uninstall the package cleanly. To overcome that one, I've added the following to prototype
Code:
s none $OPTDIR/interfaces=dummy
to register a file ready for uninstall, although the postinstall has changed the link's target.
I have also some difficulty calling sed to change a word in a file.
sed -i 's/docTitl/Outline ${docTitl}/g' $ofln

I have some simple package installations that have worked in previous versions of Solaris just fine. I can install the packages, then install newer versions right over the top without error. In previous versions I had to specify the -G option during the installation in order for this to work.

Heyas
I'm trying to give some information on used variables.
While the first two work fine, the ones starting with a glob (is that the proper term?) fail.
echo ${!TUI_*} ${!RET_*} ${!*_CLI} ${!*\_GUI}
bash: ${!*_CLI}: bad substitution
Same with @ or have them escaped.
I found no... (2 Replies)
s=`awk '{ print $0}' /Applications/Relink.app/z_cloudline.txt`
sed -n '"$s"' /var/mobile/Library/iFile/Bookmarks.plist > /var/mobile/originalip.txt
What is the problem with that code ?
With variable it only outputs:
sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `"'

I'm new to UNIX, sort of inherited this job. I have an HP lefthand SAN, where I added 100GB to one of the volumes. As I understand I also have to expand the volume on the server (solaris 10 ) as well. So, how do I do that? The file system is called: sybdump. the mount point is /export/xxx/sybdump.... (19 Replies)

Hi,
This is not a question thread, but rather a solution to an issue I have encountered on Solaris 11.
It turns out that pkgadd is not available by default on Solaris 11. The solution is to install it with:
pkg install SUNWpkgcmdsI hope this will save people some time.
Cheers,
