Hi! I'm not sure if this is the correct mailing list, but I havn't found anything else. Maybe you can point me to somewhere where I get help if I'm wrong here :-)
I've tried to build my own rpm package with a postinstall script that starts the daemon that is part of it (chkconfig mydaemon on; /etc/init.d/mydaemon start) and a preuninstall script to stop it (chkconfig mydaemon off; /etc/init.d/mydaemon stop). But if I build a new rpm and run an update, the daemon is turned off. It looks to me that the preun- script of the old package ist run *after* the post- script of the new one. So of course the daemon is turned off. So there are two questions: 1) Am I right? If so, I could stop searching for errors I made in the spec- file. 2) How could I do what I want: Start a daemon when installing and stop it when deinstalling, but "update- proof". Oh: It's a SLES10 system running RPM 4.4.2. greez Mario _______________________________________________ Rpm-maint mailing list Rpm-maint@lists.rpm.org https://lists.rpm.org/mailman/listinfo/rpm-maint
