Hi.
I just modified wpkg a bit. Now packages can have an attribute notify
which prevents wpkg, if set to "true", to notify the user that it
installs software. Additionally I introduced the value of "always" to
the execute attribute. If set it just acts like execute="once", but does
not check if the package is already installed.
The whole patch can be usefull for configs like this:
<package
id="time"
name="Time Synchonization"
revision="1"
reboot="false"
priority="100"
notify="false"
execute="always">
<install cmd="net time \\timeserver /set /yes" />
</package>
The patch is attached.
