Example—Writing a request Script

When a request script assigns values to environment variables, it must make those values available to the pkgadd command. This example shows a request script segment that performs this task for the four environment variables CLASSES, NCMPBIN, EMACS, and NCMPMAN. (These were defined in an interactive session with the administrator earlier in the script.)

# make environment variables available to installation
# service and any other packaging script we might have
 
cat >$1 <<!
CLASSES=$CLASSES
NCMPBIN=$NCMPBI
EMACS=$EMACS
NCMPMAN=$NCMPMAN
!
