Hi all,
I've done some RTFM, but can't yet find where the helper
scripts to use in maintainer scripts (preinst/postrm/..) are
described.
How does one automate the following in the preinst scripts,
for instance :
1. create a user *and* set their password
2. ssh-keygen with no user input ("Enter passphrase")
3. add/edit some MySQL tables without knowing the MySQL root password
I've fooled around with Expect for 1. and 2., and tried
mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables for 3., but I feel
lame (and I have to have my preinst script stop/start the
MySQL server during install) ..
If I'm not asking the correct list, I'm sorry, but could you please
direct me to the documentation I should read or other mailing list
I should contact ?
Thanks a bunch,
David.
