Using shell variables in SD packages (PSF)

[Muthukumar_5]

Hai All,

How to use the environment variables on the PSF script files. The default SHELL variables in the script are needed to be HARD CODED. If I use the /usr/bin/env command on like postinstall script,swinstall uses as SD's environment call not the shell environment call.

How to use the default shell variables in PSF scripts.

I ran into this problem when trying to add to the PATH variable in root's .profile for a software bundle I was putting together. You need to escpae the $ so SD doesn't do the substitution when doing its thing. In my case, I needed \${PATH} instead of ${PATH} in the variable assignment in my configure script.
