I'm building a RPM package. In my SPEC file, in the "%pre" and "%post" sections, I need to be sure that Postgresql-server is started.I tried to add a "PreReq: /var/run/postmaster*" but the * is not interpreted ! (filename changes, depending on the linux distribution)Is this way test that this file exist (or test if the result of "pidof -s/usr/bin/postmaster" is empty, for example

I have downloaded the following kernel:
kernel-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5.src.rpm
I have done the following steps:
As root, install the packages rpm-build, redhat-rpm-config and unifdef:
Code:
[root@host]# yum install rpm-build redhat-rpm-config unifdef
As an ordinary user, not root, create a directory tree based on ~/rpmbuild:
Code:
[user@host]$ cd
[user@host]$ mkdir -p rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS}
[user@host]$ echo '%_topdir %(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' > .rpmmacros
However, when I try and install the rpm package:
Code:
[user@host]$ rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.18-164.15.1.el5.src.rpm | 2>&1 | grep -v mockb
I get the following error:
Code:
warning: user mockbuild does not exist - using root
warning: group mockbuild does not exist - using root
So I want to run command through ssh but also run a if check in bash to see ifa file exist. I know that to run ssh commands you do ssh user@server YOURCOMMANDbut if i need to run an if statements, how would this work??

I'm trying to create a set of rpm files to install the requirements for a program.I found a great utility named cpanspec that will create a spec file for perl modules and have started building rpm files. I was able to create an rpm file for Business::CreditCard as a regular user. Now I'm trying to build another module that requires B::CC, and rpmbuild -ba fails saying that I am missing B::CC. I don't want to install it just to create another rpm file.Is there a way to make rpmbuild "think" that B::CC is installed in the build environment without installing it on the system?

I have a macro which I use with ROOT. In this macro I want to check if a part of string exist so I can ignore it inside a loop. So, inside a loop I want to have something like:

continue;
but of course I cannot use * in this piece of code! How to do this trick in C++?
I'm updating a working kickstart configuration.Got a good iso from it the last time used.I simply want to add 2 rpms to the installation. So I added the rpms (libganglia & libconfuse) into the ../Server directory. I added those two names to the %packages section in the .cfg file. And I added those two names into two new appropriate lines in the ../Server/repodata/comps.xml file.
I ran "createrepo -g repodata/comps.xml ." from the ../Server (rpms) directory. I then ran my "mkisofs" without issue, and used the resulting .iso. The message I get during installation is "You have specified the package 'libganglia' should be installed. This package does not exist. Would you like to continue or abort your installation?". I've tried several variations of the createrepo command.
I am a 'newbie' to ubuntu (with 45+ years as a 'computer nerd'). I am trying to follow the instructions for installing the Flash plug-in so I can view some of the action on webpages. I get on terminal and the prompt is mike@mike-laptop. The instructions say to key in "# rpm -Uvh <rpm_package_file>". I have tried as many variations of this command as I can think of with no response. I am assuming that my interpretation of <rpm_package_file> is incorrect.

I was trying to install gcc, and it sorta worked, but not really.. Im a student, and we were using an ada server that had 'gcc' already installed, so that we could cd to a directory and then 'gcc -o NAME FILEPATH' I tried to recreate this set up on my machine with Fedora 11... on my mac it is installed automatically and can be accessed from the terminal. How do I do it in Fedora? I downloaded 'gcc-4.6.0', I ran 'configure' from the gcc directory and a lot of text scrolled by really fast.. but then afterwards it said something failed...
but its weird, cuz I can write a simple 'c' program and gcc it from the terminal and it compiles.. it just gives me warnings about everything.. saying that packages like 'cstdio.h' do no exist.. warnings tho, not errors.. and it still runs.
I want to create a logon script (or somesuch) that creates a file (if it doesn't already exist) and checks the file for some info otherwise. If it finds a given trigger in that file, it logs into a local database and does some operations.
Now my problem isn't with creating that file or even getting it to function as a logon script -- it's with permissions. After the logon script creates the file, I want that user to have read access on it ONLY. Further, I don't want to give the user any kind of root access so that they could do the database operations in question or chown/chmod the file.
What's the best practice here? I'm noticing that whenever the script runs (in .bashrc right now) the script runs with the current user's permissions. Ideally, I'd like to make it so the login script can run at a higher level of permissions, (higher than the user has). Is this even possible? What's the best way to do this?

I'd love to know how to check the original configuration of a self-installed package? For example, I would like to install the package XXXXX. I did:
./configure
make
make install
After the installation, I would like to know what the configuration I used for XXXXX's installation. Maybe some dependencies (for example, A,B,C...) were not found so that XXXXX was installed without depending on A,B,C.... However, now, I would like XXXXX depend on A,B,C... How to check whether the current installed XXXXX's original configuration?
I regularly compile something from a source repository that has a certain set of dependencies. Some of these dependencies are dev libraries that are provided via other libraries but are not considered installed packages in themselves, so I cannot test for some dependencies directly.
I am currently parsing an "apt-cache showpkg" output to check for some of these provided dependencies. This is somewhat kludge-y and messy, and I was looking for a more elegant solution.
Is there an APTITUDE option that will directly test for the presence of a library that is part of some other package without having to know the name of the package that the library is part of?
Is there a flag for the cvs command to check the latest tag of a certain package
