swinstall option question

[Mukesh_5]

Thanks for reading this
I have devloped a depot, now it is having hardcoded owner and group in psf file like
file -m 222 -o root -g sys.
I want to give flexibility to user,can change it at the time of installing this depot.
(can we use swmodify if yes then how)
how can i do this.

I dont know of any way to get an swinstall to ask a question during install, so you can configure something like this. Normally any changes you need to make are included in the configure script which comes with the depot, and it uses some code/logic to decide on things like where to install, how to configure depending on who is install it etc. You can put some code/logic here.

But even if you allow the permissions to change the swverify will fail in future when run - as it will lookup the hardcoded file youve set in the psf file.
