pkgadd -d /path

I get the following error message when I run pkgadd -d /path

pkgadd: error : no pkages were found.....

If I specifiy a file name like pkgadd -d /path/mypakagename1.local in this command then it works.

I have a list of packages that I woud like to have it install by runing one command.

you can do:

cd /path-to/
for pkg in * ; do
pkgadd -d $pkg
done

or use a text file to put the package list in the file:
eg:
pkg1
pkg2

then do:
for pkg in `cat mylist`
pkgadd -d $pkg
done

This will work if I just neeh to untar or anything else like that.

when you run pkgadd -d command it ask you if I need to install all package or select a number.

I thought it should read all the package from the directory and then allow me to select all or one.
