[cobalt-users] Installing multiple packages...

["Greg O'Lone" <greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Excuse my ignorance, but doesn't this look too easy:


------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------
#!/bin/sh
# set -v
# RaQ Package Installer
#
# Installs all packages in the current folder (in alphabetical order)
and then reboots the machine.
#
# Suggestion: Rename the package files with ##_packagename.pkg in
chronological order to ensure
# install order

package_list=`ls *.pkg`

for package in $package_list ; do
    echo $package
    /usr/local/sbin/cobalt_upgrade $package
done
/sbin/reboot
------------------------------------------------------------------

Just tried this on my RaQ 4, everything seems to have worked correctly,
I assume this is how Sun
does it on the OS Restore CD's. Anybody see any reason this shouldn't
work? I named all of the 
upgrade .pkg files with numbered prefixes (01, 02, 03, etc.) and the
script grabbed them in order,
but I am still a bit weary about it.

By the way, it took about a third of the time as the machine didn't have
to reboot each time, and
Because it uses a Cobalt script, they even show up in the GUI!

Anybody see anything gone awry here?
