Creating an admin file

Use your favorite text editor to create an admin file, specifying some or all of the parameters defined here.

You can create an admin file in any directory. By default, pkgadd(1M) searches for admin files in the /var/sadm/install/admin directory. If you create your admin file in this directory, you only need to supply the filename after the -a option when executing pkgadd(1M). If you create your file in a different directory, you must supply the full pathname after the -a option.

Valid parameters are:

• basedir (package relocation information)
  directory name, $PKG, $PKGINST, or ask

• mail (who should receive mail after installation)
  space-separated list of user IDs, defined as NULL (no mail sent), or not defined (mail is sent to root)

• runlevel (run-level dependencies not met)
  options: nocheck, quit, or ask

• conflict (name conflict because a file or directory with the same name already exists)
  options: nocheck, quit, nochange, or ask

• setuid (check for set-UID or set-GID execution)
  options: nocheck, quit, nochange, or ask

• action (check security impact of package scripts)
  options: nocheck, quit, or ask

• partial (partially installed version exists)
  options: nocheck, quit, or ask

• instance (instance already exists)
  options: quit, overwrite, unique, or ask

• idepend (package dependencies not met at installation time)
  options: nocheck, quit, or ask

• rdepend (package dependencies not met at removal time)
  options: nocheck, quit, or ask

• space (disk space requirements not met)
  options: nocheck, quit, or ask
