Greetings Me again and my script, OK so part of scripting a fix for cdrom and udev and bla bla, I thought is would be cool to also script some rpms to save time, In the script I have some line like this rpm -Uvh $packagedir/package.rpm rpm -Ivh $packagedir/package.rpm theres about 70 packages in the dir. The problem I am experiencing is if I upgrade a package in the dir, the version changes. and the script must be updated, Now for dependancy solving I have to install them in a certian order. Unfortunately I can't use up2date, apt , yume etc for this as The network that does the installs is isolated and has not internet access, As you can imagine on a PC prodction line we also do windows, and the risk of a virus getting onto brand new systems in too high so we are disconnected from the inet. The PC builder 30 of them scp a folder from the server an execute the script which patches fixes install etc is there some way to tell the script not to look at the version number in other words: this one is normal and must be updated on change of package rpm -Uvh a52dec_0.7.4-7.1.fc3.fr_i386.rpm This line is what I am after but am unsure of how to go about it ie if I replace the rpm in the package dir with a newer version I don't need to update the script line. rpm -Uvh a52dec<version>.rpm I hope this makes, I am confusing myself here! :0 -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================
