creating rpm problem

Hi all,

the following is my problem:

I want to create an rpm installing a software, which includes a scripot which starts the software as a service.

So I create the following files:

/etc/init.d/mysoftware_service
/etc/rc5.d/S32mysoftware_service
/etc/rc1.d/K32mysoftware_service

This works perfectly, but now I have the problem, that maybe an entry with the number S32 or K32 in the rc.X directory already exists. In this case I want to create the links with a different number, e.g.:

/etc/rc5.d/S99mysoftware_service
/etc/rc6.d/K99mysoftware_service

But how can I check in the rpm script if the S32xxx already exists and react accordingly to that.

My Spec file looks like the following:

Ben Sky

Code:

 Summary:  Install myprogram 
 %define version 1.0 
 Copyright: bensky 
 Name: my_installer_rpm  
 Provides:  my_installer_rpm 
 Release: 1
  Version: %{version} 

  %description 
  something    

  %files 
  %defattr(-,root,root)  
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/mysoftware_service
  /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S32mysoftware_service
  /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K32mysoftware_service

Thanks for any help or input

why would you need a unique number? akk the number serves to do is force a loose alphanumeric order, so it just runs each script in turn. the numbers do not need to be unique in the slightest.

Thanks, I thought the number must be unique!
If this is not the case, my problem is solved!
