Install scripts on network?

Hello!
I have a few scripts that I've written for my boss, who runs a photography studio. He has several computers in his office that will need to be using the scripts. Obviously, he has a network to share files and whatnot, is there any way to share scripts like this too? Maybe redirect where InDesign looks for the scripts? It's really a hassle, and impractical, to have to install and maintain them all individually.
I'm using JS and CS4, if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Simply create a shortcut to the network folder with the scripts, and put that shortcut in the scriptspanel folder.
Done it one Mac, and works both in CS3 and CS4 over AFP. Dont know about PC but i think it's the same.

INSTALL ARCHLINUX (new installation system by Arch Install Script)

After many failed installations, I've resolved and written a mini-guide how to do an easy installation of Arch Linux. I've added it to Manualinux on point 44b.
However, I report it below, maybe could be useful to someone:
44b)INSTALL ARCHLINUX (new installation system by Arch Install Scripts)
Choice if install ArchLinux 32 or 64 bit, following type these commands:
-loadkeys it (choice your language)
-Use cfdisk to create your partitions
cfdisk /dev/sda o /dev/sdx
-Format Partitions Using mkfs and Create Swap
mkfs.reiserfs /dev/sda1
or
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
mkswap /dev/sda2
-Reboot system with installation cd
reboot
-Mount Partition:
cd /
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
-Make and mount swap partition:
swapon /dev/sda2
-Active wireless or ethernet connection
wifi-menu (choice your wireless connection, I suggest your to disable temporarely your password on router-modem)
dhcpcd (attach ethernet wire)
-Install Base System:
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
-Install Grub2:
pacstrap /mnt grub-bios
-Install Syslinux:
pacstrap /mnt syslinux
-Generate fstab:
genfstab -p /mnt >> /mnt/etc/fstab
-Login to arch-chroot:
arch-chroot /mnt
-Install package wifi-select
ip link set wlan0 up
pacman -S wifi-select
-Configure Network:
vi /etc/rc.conf
add interface="eth0"
add interface="wlan0"
-Edit Hostname:
vi /etc/hostname
and add desired hostname
-Set Timezone:
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Rome /etc/localtime
-Generate Locale:
vi /etc/locale.gen
enable:
it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8
it_IT ISO-8859-1
it_IT@euro ISO-8859-15
-Execute locale-gen on shell:
locale-gen
-Configure Kernel:
mkinitcpio -p linux
-Configure Bootloader:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
-Set root password:
passwd root
-Exit from arch-chroot:
exit
-Unmount Partition:
umount /mnt
-Reboot your system
reboot
-If ethernet wire is attached:
dhcpcd
-If you want configure wireless network:
ip link set wlan0 up
wifi-select (if you have not password on router-modem)
pacman -Syu kde wicd wicd-gtk (insert kdm wicd in /etc/rc.conf)
reboot system and configure your router wireless/wifi connection
Reinsert wireless password on your router/modem

You don't need to install both grub and syslinux. You configure grub in "Configure Bootloader" so this step is unnecessary:
-Install Syslinux:
pacstrap /mnt syslinux
This next step doesn't configure the kernel, it creates an initramfs (see the Beginners' Guide):
-Configure Kernel:
mkinitcpio -p linux

I appreciate the reply.
My fresh install from the DVD finished and the problem was still occurring. I'm now zeroing the data (one pass), per your suggestion. I'll then do an install of Leopard via Firewire, as I'm unable to start it from the DVD.
I'm curious how a bad install would prevent the computer from starting from a CD/DVD. I'm able to use the install CD/DVD in other computer without any problems, so I don't believe the physical disk is the issue. When I start while holding OPTION, and insert the DVD, it comes up as a boot-able option. Also, the disk image I initially used hasn't had any issues to date.
Thanks again,
Ben

"Arch By Hand" UEFI GPT SSD LUKS Install Script

Arch UEFI GPT LUKS (and non LUKS version) Automated Install Example Script, SSD friendly
Please note that if you're going to use this you're going to have to a) customize it to fit your needs and b) know what system config you need to do post install (rc.* etc). It's a jumping off point.
Want to put in a lot of effort just to get Arch Linux listed in your "bios" startup options? You're in the right post! Well, it's more than just that, of course. If you have an EFI machine, increasingly common, this might be of interest.
I got this working on my x220 tablet and thought I'd post it here. I imagine that as Archboot and the official installer rev we'll see them support this kind of thing as well, so BBS seemed like a good place to post it, but if there is an appropriate wiki location I could add it there as well.
This is pretty bare bones (otherwise you'd be using AIF or Archboot, natch) and should be customized for your own install purposes. Nonetheless, I suspect others may have been banging their heads on the low overhang of UEFI/GPT install and hope this helps them get up and running.
This is pretty much all in the wiki and BBS in various places, particularly the GRUB2 wiki entry. However the GPT partitioning (and learning more of sgdisk) were challenging enough that I felt it would be useful for others to see a working script.
I used the current-as-of-this-post Archboot iso (archlinux-2011.10-1-archboot.iso).
Don't just dd the archlinux iso to a usb. Format the USB stick as an MBR FAT drive and dump the entire Archboot ISO contents to it. To be honest, I did this in an Ubuntu vmware image I had on my mac, though I'd like to include command line options for doing this. TODO!
I also stuck the script (included herein) on the drive, but you could get it on the installation image at install time as well via scp or whatever you prefer.
On my x220 I then set the UEFI "BIOS" (the UEFI setup) to boot *ONLY* from UEFI. Pretty important. You should probably also stack your USB drive to top of your startup list or manually select it at boot time.
Boot from the USB stick. For my x220 I selected the second of the four efi grub options, x86_64.
Once Archboot is up, immediately leave the installer (option 8)
You may want to mount the usb drive to /src if you stuck this script on it. Archboot in UEFI mode doesn't seem to mount the usb drive properly (and the normal Archboot efi install will fail as well due to this). I think this is getting fixed in the next Archboot release, from what I've read on BBS.
# mount /dev/sdb1 /src
Run the script. For me this is
# /src/myarch.sh
(WARNING: will nuke everything on /dev/sda unless you've changed it).
There are probably things that could be done better/cleaner, feel free to point those out. This is really just a jumping off point.
UPDATE 15 NOV 2011: This now sources most packages locally to avoid kernel mismatch between install medium and install target.
UPDATE 16 NOV 2011: Script now unified the boot and efi partitions.
UPDATE 17 NOV 2011: Migrated code to github, including two versions (non-encrypted and LUKS-encrypted)
UPDATE 18 NOV 2011: Added encrypted swap
UPDATE 18 NOV 2011: Changed /boot/efi/grub to /boot/grub; removed extraneous /boot/efi directory entirely.
UPDATE 19 NOV 2011: Added a post-install script to handle user setup, etc. No reboot required.

Search for ZfD Agent install script

I am looking for a script / batch file for installation of the ZENworks agent without reboot of the workstation.
I am just updating from ZfD 7 SP1 ir3a to ir4 and if I install it manually and start the ZENworks services after install everything is still operational without reboot.
However if I install the agent with a ZENworks application package it always needs a reboot to activate the ZENworks services again - especially the Workstation-Manager
I tried it with pre- and post launch and distribution scripts, and with batch file installation. Everytime when the Workstation-Manager stops the installation ends but the post-scripts and batch processing stops as well. It always requires a reboot to activated the Agent again - or a manual start of the Workstation-Manager service.
I need to find just a way to call a batch file after the MSIEXEC process finishes in order to perform a "net start Workstation-manager".
The difference to other invoronments might be, that the Application is assigned to the Workstations instead to the users like in most other environments.
Thanks for your ideas, Klaus

Well .... [toot horn]
This is a link to a script I wrote in AutoIt that I used for many ZfD6 - 7 deployments. Was very successfully in getting the agent out and you run it from the login script.
Zenworks 4x - 7.x Workstation Agent Automated Deployment - Novell: ZENworks FAQ - Tek-Tips
I didn't write it to do a removal of the agent, but would be simple enough to be added. On the same forum site, in the Zen FAQ's I also posted the source code for the script I have been using to do ZCM deployments. In it has the code you would need to add to facilitate the uninstall of the agent so you can do a reinstall.

Then executes the batch file
The batch file stops the zenworks services, unloads the NAL (may not be
necessary, not sure if the msi will do this)
Batch file then installs the ZFD agent with the noreboot option.
batch file restarts each service
Problem will be the batch file really can't re-start the nal correctly.
Since the batch file will be running under the SYSTEM scope, anything it
launches will be under that scope too (ie.. the NAL), so when it loads, it
wouldn't see any user-based apps.

Install Script Error?

It's Christmas day, and I just got an IPOD Video and tried to install the software for it and ran into a whole mess of problems.
I tried to install ITunes 7 & Quicktime 7, but every time I try I get an error at the end of the installation saying something about a missing Install Script error and that i need to run "ISScript.msi" or contact support.
I have no idea what to do, and tried to find that file on microsoft.com, but the onlyint that comes up is "Virtual PC 2004" and not how to install it, but work around it.
any suggestions?

The Install script engine on this machine is older than the version required to run this setup. If available, please install the lastest version of ISScript.msi or contact your support personnel for further assistance.
okay, let's try installing a version 11, using the instructions from the following InstallShield document:
Update to the Latest InstallShield Installation Engines
is that one of any help with the error message?

"Error" in ApEx install scripts for runtime environment?

I recently installed a runtime ApEx 3.1 on a 10.2.0.1.0 database. After installing an application which uses the Database Account Credentials method for authentication I was unable to login to the application, getting an ERR-10480 message. After some research on this forum I granted ALTER USER to FLOWS_030100 which resolved the issue. So far so good.
But I was still puzzled as to why the application had worked without problems in a development environment and not in the runtime environment. It took only a few minutes to locate the problem though. In the runtime-install script "apxrtins.sql" there is a call to the "runtime_grant_revoke.sql" script which removes unnecessary DBA system privileges for a runtime environment (which is a good thing IMO). In this script there is also a REVOKE ALTER USER statement, but it seems this one is needed if your application uses the DBACCOUNT authentication method. I didn't find anything on this in the documentation.
Anyone else notice this as well? I would think this is a bug in the install-scripts but perhaps I'm missing something somewhere?

Tim,
Thanks for reporting this. In database server versions earlier than 10.2.0.3, the alter user privilege is required for the "flows" schema to support the feature you mentioned. We'll try to get this fixed in the next patch release.

Sun MC Automated Install Script failing 50% of the time

Are there a set of tips in general for the script; or perhaps tips for the contents of the boom.cfg file to help increase the percentage of successful installs?
Thanks, [email protected]

Hi Mike,
In most of the SunMC autoinstall projects I've worked on, we ended up implementing 3 slightly different install/setup config files: one for 12-25k's, one for 3800-6900s, and one for "everything else". Then we put a bit of smarts in the main install script to decide which to use. The questions for each of those groups were different enough that it made sense to break them apart.
Are you using the base es-inst/es-setup commands? es-imagetool and agent-update.bin? es-makeagent? Some notes here: http://forums.halcyoninc.com/showthread.php?t=389 . Send me an email if you need help getting things off the ground.
Regards,

Should/can the install script included in source=() list?

Hi,
It is a good thing that the sources needed to build a package are md5summed for integrity, but in most packages the install script is not. I was thinking why this might be - the PKGBUILD can be expected to modify the script?
So to try, in one of my packages I added the install script to the source=() list. The package builds of course just fine. Then, however, if I want to upload it to AUR, I try to make a source-only package with "makepkg --source", which brakes with something like this:
ln: creating symbolic link `/tmp/foo/srclinks.YjYgQ8XlE/foo/foo.install': File exists
This is because makepkg tries to create a 2 symbolic links with the same filename: one link for the "foo.install" in the source=() list and also for the install=() list....
Is this deliberate, or a bug? Looks more like a bug to me, but thought I better ask first....
Cheers,
Greg

It might be completely internal to the pacman but defines actions taken on the system - thus whatever is in .install has effects just like the rest of the files, maybe even more: the other files are just copied, the .install is executed.
And while it might never get installed on the system, it's internals are - how else one could define a "post_uninstall()" if it wasn't stored? Being pacman developer you know much more about this than I do, can you give a bit of info on that?
Right it is installed to pacman database, but again, it is pacman doing all that.
Fair enough.... The detail, however, that is not installed does not preempt checksumming. Eg. patches are also: 1) used for the package, 2) not installed, and 3) still in the checksum....
shining wrote:
All I'm trying to get to, is there any serious reason (technical, not philosophical) NOT to checksum the install script as well? Because I'm yet to see any valid arguments against it, and there are loads for it....
Taking your example from kernel26 :
-i $startdir/kernel26.install
-i ${pkgdir}/etc/mkinitcpio.d/${pkgname}.preset
Note that the scriptlet edited is the original one in $startdir , because that's the only place where it needs to be, from the packager pov.
While for the preset file, it needs to be copied to $pkgdir and it is edited there.
If you had a checksum for the scriptlet, it would also mean that makepkg -g output could be altered after running makepkg. Very weird..
Ok, this is indeed the case. But if you look at real packages, it seems that after the package is compiled, many times they update the PKGBUILD with the new md5sum values. Again: core/kernel26.
That .install update section in the PKGBUILD is then relegated to a "helper function" role that keep the information in sync when there's a new release, but as the PKGBUILD is distributed, it won't change anything in the .install anymore...
Thus, again, there's no real difference between the .install files and other files used as source.
shining wrote:Btw the whole scriptlet file could be created entirely from the pkgbuild build function.
Sure, and that's a great thing! I actually wondered why so many packages have separate .install when it can be done in the PKGBUILD. Thought it might be some convention, but probably just habit.... I prefer doing it in the PKGBUILD as well, whenever possible...
shining wrote:There might be ways to fix that, though I don't even see any good ones. But why bother ? You said there are loads of valid arguments to have it , but you didn't even give one !
On the other hand, I'm yet to find any of your rebuttals that are not rebutted here again...
shining wrote:What are you worried about here ? Security ? If you think adding a checksum for the install file is going to give you any security, you are badly fooling yourself. If someone is distributing a malicious pkgbuild, it can contain the md5sum of the malicious scriptlet which is shipped with it.
I think you misunderstood me. I'm not complaining, but inquiring. The PKGBUILD system is awesome, and it makes me search out programs that I use but not in the repo/AUR so that I can make a new package. But also, I'm interested in the "how" and "why", and hope to improve things if possible. Now, to me it seems theres an unreasonable distinction to checksum some files needed for a package but not all of them. And thus I set out to ask the elders here on the Forum to see whether someone can shed light on the reasons of the current state. Not trying to piss of anybody, but being interested.
Of course the md5sum is not security, it's a help, nothing more.
As an example: some time ago, there was a package in the community (thus managed by TUs) that had an update. I wanted to check out something in the package, got the PKGBUILD and tried to make it myself - md5sum says that the sources are incorrect.... Obviously something must have gone very bad, because the md5sum field was updated according to the SVN, the package is available on pacman thus it had to build, and the sources used in the package have not been changed for a while so that cannot be a problem....
I've got a package from a trusted source and it is broken, the md5sum told me. So the breakage can be the very same way in the install script, why is the md5sum not allowed to tell me that?
shining wrote:The only security for pkgbuilds is yourself. When you get one from a strange place, you MUST read the pkgbuild/install files.
Of course, never argued against it. But there are different layers of verbosity....
Anyway....

Using subsitiutions in the install scripts

This should be pretty obvious, but I can't find the answer in the documentation.
Using Apex 3.1.2, in the Shared Objects, I've created a substitution named "TABLESPACE". The application uses a set of tables, the install should create these tables, and DBA have funny ideas about where these tables should be created, so I'd like to offer the option of having the install process ask for and use the TABLESPACE.
So I create an install script called "create tables". The script text has the following:
CREATE TABLE table1 (ID NUMBER, NAME VARCHAR2(30))
TABLESPACE ??;
So how do I use the TABLESPACE substitution value in the install script above? Use "&TABLESPACE:", use ":TABLESPACE"?
Edited by: tjoneslo on Nov 25, 2008 11:56 AM

To answer my own question. The install scripts are run as sql (or pl/sql) statements. You can access the pre-defined substitution strings via the v('NAME') parameter call (e.g. v('APP_USER')) but the application substitution strings, even though we are prompting for them, are not available.
Which would make for a good enhancement.

Install Solaris10 over network.

I have one sinfire v245 box which is in remote location (DR site). I want to install Solari10-u5 on it.
I can't travel to remote site due to some restriction.
Presently Solaris10-U1 is installed in the box.
I have telnet/SSH access to Solaris-OS, and i have SSH access to it's "Advanced Lights Out Manager".
There is no one in remote location who can insert Solaris10-u5 media.
In this situation, is there anyway that i can freshly install Solaris10-u5 on it ?

Ok. I learned the way how to install Solaris over network.
I have created a install server on another solaris box, the client and this box are in the same network.
I am trying to install the client, i am getting this error on the client continuously . Any idea how to solve this ?

Supporting Object Install Scripts - populate clob table

All
Before I delve into exactly how I thought I'd ask the forum if anyone had packaged up an install script to populate a table with a clob column?
I have an app that I am finishing up and the one remaining table has a clob column which obviously doesn't make for simple SQL inserts due to the CLOB type.
Thanks in advance
Phil

Hi Vadimon,
Thanks for reporting this, however I am struggling to reproduce the issue.
I created an application with 2 installation scripts (1 without a condition and 1 with a condition set to NEVER), then imported this into a 4.1 instance installing supporting objects. Here, only the 1 without a condition executed, as expected. I then created 2 upgrade scripts (again 1 without a condition and 1 with a condition set to NEVER), then re-imported this to upgrade the application. Again, only the 1 without a condition executed, as expected.
Would you be able to send me an export of an application where this reproduces, or provide the steps you took to reproduce this?
Regards,
Anthony.

Post Install Scripts

I am creating an image with System Utility. One module i can add is called "Add Packages and Post-Install Scripts".
I put one of my scripts in it:
#!bin/sh
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText "Hello"
But I get an error when trying to image saying "install setup failed: run postinstall script"
I know the script works because i tested it.
Any ideas?

probably not…
try using the defined installer variables instead of a specific path. there's a quick rundown here, though there's probably better documentation of it elsewhere: http://tinyurl.com/yejppmm
basically, you probably want $3:
$1: Full Path to Package
$2: Full Path to target installation directory: /Applications
$3: Mountpoint of installation disk: / or /Volumes/External_Drive
$4: Root directory of currently booted system
your script may be failing because the installer is trying to run it on the booted volume, which won't work. you want it to apply to the restored/newly installed volume.

The need to install Arch over network?

When I install Arch, I need to connect to network and use pacstrap to get the packages according to the relative wiki pages.
Could I install Arch without network connection? Which command I can use to do that, say, pacman?
Why don't we provide a CD such as Ubuntu did?

Which will break dependencies, unless you go all the way and install package by package with --asdeps.
Not if you install them all at once in one command. Also works if you install them in the correct order, but just dumping all the packages in the command line fixes it because pacman reads all the package first, check depencies afterward. That way, it will see you install 100 packages, all depencies met -> no problem.
Awebb wrote:And, err, if what you want to say can be said in one line, why all the text?
Because the longer text:
Explains why Arch can't have big disk images with all packages preinstalled on it
Explains why having the packages isn't that useful in most cases (example of the 1.2Gb update)
Offers multiple ways to store the packages:
Put extra packages on another media or network share
Expand the original CD image and put them directly on the Live CD
Tells where to go for the currently downloaded packages for easy access
Plus, finally, offers an alternative way to install the system: pre-build it in a VM or chroot and just untar on the target machine(s)
The one-line version doesn't talk about all that and suggest the direct way to do it quickly, but it acts more like a summary. Next time learn to read before complaining, thanks.
