Installation Utility

setup-tty is a script that installs SIMS and its related files and packages onto the system.

---

Note - Because setup-tty is not installed on the target system, you must retrieve the setup-tty program from the distribution image and not from the system.

The

setup-tty [-c install | remove] [-d]

syntax for using this command is:

The options for this command are:

TABLE  A-1   Options for the setup-tty Command

Option	Description
-c install	Specifies a standard install of SIMS and related files and packages.
-c remove	Specifies an uninstall of SIMS and related packages and files from the system.
-d	Specifies a non-interactive automated install using the /tmp/sims_setup.dat file, if it exists. If /tmp/sims_setup.dat does not exist, setup-tty will default to the standard interactive install and prompt the user for necessary information. See the Sun Internet Mail Server Reference Guide for the format of the file sims_setup.dat.

The following command performs a standard interactive installation:

% setup-tty -c install

If you do not specify any arguments while invoking this command, by default setup-tty will perform a "-c install" operation.

Execute the following to uninstall SIMS and related packages and files from the system:

% setup-tty -c remove

The following command

% setup-tty -d

performs a non-interactive install which uses the file /tmp/sims_setup.dat if it exists. It will gather all necessary configuration data from the /tmp/sims_setup.dat file. If the file does not exist, setup-tty reverts to the interactive install, which prompts the user for necessary information. If /tmp/sims_setup.dat exists and setup-tty is executed without the -d option specified, the /tmp/sims_setup.dat file is removed and the interactive install continues.
