Creating User-defined Scripts

This section discusses certain installation and configuration updates you may provide for executing after installing Solaris ISP Server software. These parameters can be written as a shell script. For example, you can write a command similar to: echo "foo" >> /etc/ftpusers

The path to your script can be registered while configuring the host (Post-Configuration Command screen) for installation of Solaris ISP Server. Or, you may specify a sequence of commands separated by a semicolon. Your postconfiguration command will be executed during a batch install.

Creating this script is optional.

Some postinstallation system setup examples that you may address in your script to be executed after installation are illustrated in the following. For example:

• Write a program to verify and confirm changes to system setup.

• Write a program to notify or print disk space availability after installation.

• Write a program to reconfigure notification messages from syslog for failed authorization entries. See "Introducing Solaris ISP Server" in Solaris ISP Server 2.0 Administration Guide.

• Write a program to set interval values for the host configuration log file management daemon (hclfmd). See hclfmd(4m) man page for more information.

• Write a program to configure other independent software.
