Hello, I need a little help with a postinstall script, the script should make automatically a few postinstall steps on the LMD installation, qhat the script should make it's to detect if a directory called .LMD on the home directory exists, if it exists, it shows an informative message, if it doesn't exist it makes it. All right the problem is: It acts over the root directory, and I want it to act over the user normal directory (/home/'user') For you tu understand what I mean, this is the code:
http://pastebin.com/57L2Jt2P <- With that it looks for a directory called "~", not "home" directory
I als otried with an array, and it was here when it used root like home directory, and not the local user directory:
I want the script to do the same that it makes with the second paste bin, but not in root, it should be, in my pc for example, on /home/jorge...
Thanks in advance
i suggest installing a script doing what you want to do in $HOME directory and print out an instruction in post_install function to remind the user to run that script as normal user without sudo. inside the script, $HOME can be used, or ~ too. regards,
