The System Administration Tools
indicated in the smaller install dialog. After this dialog is closed,
the auto installation will continue by setting up to install the next
product or patch in the AutoInstall list, if there is one.
[(Mount | mount) <mount-from-dir> <mount-to-dir>]
The presence of this line allows an NFS directory to be mounted onto
the user's machine for the duration of the install. This allows
software located on another host system to be installed. At this
time, only one mount may be done per AutoInstall file.
The local directory that is mounted to must be located under the
directory /logic. If the local directory to mount to does not exist,
the user will be asked if they want the directory created. If they
decline to have it created, the installation will stop.
NOTE: if "Force" is present and the mounted directory does not exist,
it will be automatically created and the mount will occur.
There are two files created in /logic/usr/swinstall when an
autoinstall mount is done. These are &dquote;mount.err&dquote; and
&dquote;mount.out&dquote;. These files will contain any
pertinent information about the most recent auto install mount.
In most cases, these files will be empty.
<Absolute filename of product or patch to install>
Each of these lines (there can be many of them) indicates a product
or patch to install. The absolute file name for the product or path
must be specified (one per line).
NOTE: No additional spaces, blank lines or comments are to be included in the
AutoInstall file.
Auto-Install Characteristics
Force option:
If "Force" (or "force") is included in the AutoInstall file and the
AutoInstall file is put into /logic/usr/swinstall while an analysis
session is still running, the installation will occur when the user
requests that a new analysis session begin (i.e. it will occur after
the previous session has been exited and a new session is requested).
User Chooses to Delay the Install:
If a user chooses to delay the installation (through the installation
dialog), the AutoInstall file is renamed to AutoInstall.delay. The
analysis session will then start normally. The next time the user
starts a new analysis session, they will again be asked if they want
to install the software that is available. Again, they can choose to
do the install or delay it.
User Chooses to Nerver do the Install:
If the user chooses to never do the install (through the installation
dialog), the AutoInstall file is renamed to AutoInstall.never . The
analysis session will then start normally after this choice. The user
will not be notified again about the newer software that is available.
The next time the user starts a new analysis session, they will go
directly to the analysis session.
Results of Installation:
The results of the installation can be reviewed in the file
/logic/log/install.log.
When Installation is Complete:
When the installation completes successfully, the AutoInstall file
will be renamed "AutoInstall.done" (and will remain in
