Customising the install script


Creating an installer package with a customised install script.

The installer script can be readily changed and repackaged.

The main installer package contains just 2 files; 

  1. install                    - the installation perl script.
  2. updd_package.tar   - the actual software package

After making changes as required to customise the script simply execute the following command

tar -czf your_new_package_name.tgz install updd_package.tar

UPDD Daemon startup

The UPDD Daemon startup method is setup up in the install script, section install_user_startup_items. In cases where the deamon task does not startup review and modify this section as required to implement a known startup method.
