I like this one better. So, people with app-defaults files should be instructed to put something like this in their postinst (replace $PROGRAM with the real name): if [ ! -e /etc/X11/app-defaults.mono -a ! -e /etc/X11/app-defaults.color ]; then echo -n "Do you wish to use color, or monochrome app-defaults files? [C/m]"; read WHICH case $WHICH in [mM]*) touch /etc/X11/app-defaults.mono ;; *) touch /etc/X11/app-defaults.color ;; esac if [ -e /etc/X11/app-defaults.color ]; then echo "$PROGRAM will use color app-defaults file." ln -sf $PROGRAM-color /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/$PROGRAM elif [ -e /etc/X11/app-defaults.mono ]; then echo "$PROGRAM will use monochrome app-defaults file." ln -sf $PROGRAM-mono /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/$PROGRAM fi Although there may be something wrong with this script... -- enJoy -*/\*- http://jagor.srce.hr/~jrodin/
