Script to automate installation

Amit Dixit_2 — Thu, 24 Jun 2004 05:33:28 GMT

Hi,
Can we have a script which can perform the
weblogic or informix istallation on HP-UX
i.e. Instead of user supplying the Input
the script should pass the pre-defined
parameters.

Thanks,
AMit

Not knowing how Informix or Weblogic are installed anyway I can't be too specific, but as a general rule if it's a command script install that asks a series of questions in which you type, then you can do a "here" script, something like this: -

install_weblogic.sh </opt/weblogic
webuser
webgrp
y
n
EOF

Where the lines above the EOF are answers to the questions posed by the install script.

Hi,

Once upon a time I used the attached script for half-automatic installation.
You can use the parts which you find intersting.

Hi,
I want a script to check whether a user exist or not if not then create it, set the vairables in the .profile file and then start the installation of package.

Thanks

Do something like below:

grep $1 /etc/passwd > /dev/null

if [ $? -ne 0 ]
then
echo "add user"
useradd -m user_name
echo "PARAMETER_NAME" >> /home/user_name/.profile
sh other_commands
else
echo "User already Exists ..."
exit 1
fi
