Using a Site-Specific Installation Program

You can also use begin and finish scripts to create your own installation program to install Solaris software.

When you specify a minus sign (-) in the profile field, begin and finish scripts control how Solaris software is installed on a system (not the profile and the Solaris 8 Interactive Installation Program).

For example, if the following rule matched a system, the x_install.beg begin script and the x_install.fin finish script install Solaris software on the system named sherlock:

hostname sherlock x_install.beg - x_install.fin
