You can consider using %trigger(un) scripts, they were designed for inter=package pre/post (un)install scripts. Note that the use of trigger scripts does not comply with the LSB, but it works fine and if the other package gets upgraded (e.g., new services file), the script is running again. Of course, you have to write that scripts very carefully, idempotent, etc. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
