Thanks - but it doesn't really give any more info that isn't elsewhere on the Web e.g. it doesn't give any clues on how to check if the trigger script is being run by the RPM containing the trigger script or by the triggering RPM After several hours of installing, upgrading, removing, etc (in various combinations) test trigger and triggering RPMS, I think I've now got something that I can work with - it's a bit messy, but it will now work in a predictable fashion Thanks James Pearson ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It has several pages on doing triggers, and looked promising to help my understanding, I just got pulled onto a different project before getting to test out the ideas. I think page 25 would be of interest to you. http://www.redhat.com/promo/summit/2010/presentations/summit/opensource- for-it-leaders/thurs/pwaterma-2-rpm/RPM-ifying-System-Configurations.pdf I hope this pointer to info helps.

[CentOS] Understanding RPM trigger scripts?
I'm trying to get my head around RPM trigger scripts - but currently getting very confused ... I have a custom RPM which has in its spec file a '%triggerin' script for the 'kernel' RPM - i.e. a script that I want to run when the kernel RPM is upgraded/installed This works OK - once my custom RPM is installed, if the kernel is subsequently upgraded/installed, my trigger script is run However, the same trigger script is also run when I upgrade my custom RPM - which I don't want - and so far, I can't find a reliable way of making sure it isn't run in this case. The more I search for an answer, the more I get confused :-) I know this is a bit off-topic and obscure, but does anyone know how to make sure such a trigger script is only run when the RPM that triggers it is upgraded/installed - and not when the RPM that contains the trigger script is upgraded?
