Re: Application Server Update removes WO Startup scripts

Hello All,

A quick peek in the ApplicationsServerUpdate.pkg shows where the  
problem is.

Inside the package is a script called: WODeployment.post_script

This script is the one causing all the problems.  As you can see from  
the script that it deletes the /System/Library/StartupItems directory  
all together

--SNIP--
...

startupdir="${NEXT_ROOT}System/Library/StartupItems/WebObjects"

...

if [ -d "${startupdir}" ]; then
     # Remove existing startup directory
     echo Removing existing $startupdir
     /bin/rm -rf "${startupdir}"
fi
--SNIP--

It then goes about trying to create a new directory and startup files.

--SNIP--
# Create the wotaskd startup script
echo Creating $startupdir

/bin/mkdir "${startupdir}"

cp -f "$1/Contents/Resources/WebObjects" "${startupscript}"
chmod a+x "${startupscript}"

# Create the WebObjects startup plist
echo Creating $startupplist
cp -f "$1/Contents/Resources/StartupParameters.plist" "${startupplist}"

echo "WebObjects 5.2.2 Installer: Deployment Post Install script  
completed:" `date`
--SNIP--

The problem is that the files that it needs to copy into the new  
StartupItems/WebObjects folder do not exist in the package.  A quick  
look at the install log file confirms this fact:

--SNIP--
Mar 17 08:14:17 localhost softwareupdate: + echo Creating  
/System/Library/StartupItems/WebObjects
Mar 17 08:14:17 localhost softwareupdate: Creating

directory
Mar 17 08:14:17 localhost softwareupdate: + echo Creating  
/System/Library/StartupItems/WebObjects/StartupParameters.plist
Mar 17 08:14:17 localhost softwareupdate: Creating  
/System/Library/StartupItems/WebObjects/StartupParameters.plist
Mar 17 08:14:17 localhost softwareupdate: + cp -f  
/tmp/0/TemporaryItems/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/ 
ApplicationsServerUpdate.pkg/Contents/Resources/StartupParameters.plist  
/System/Library/StartupItems/WebObjects/StartupParameters.plist
Mar 17 08:14:17 localhost softwareupdate: cp:  
/tmp/0/TemporaryItems/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/ 
ApplicationsServerUpdate.pkg/Contents/Resources/ 
StartupParameters.plist: No such file or directory
--SNIP--

I contacted Apple to let them know about the problem and they said that  
they would get back with me sometime tomorrow.  I hope you all have a  
good back from which to pull the files from.  Otherwise good luck!!
