tracking application packages during installation
Hi experts,
Is it possibel to track packages whilst being loaded on solaris OS. The reason for this is I am trying to create a script which will find and remove these packages after an installation. I am installing an application and the uninstaller leaves alot of packages all over the show, and you have to hunt them down one by one, which takes quite some time.

No, application is a keyword as is system. Didn't ask what version you are running. You can just do a pkginfo > before.inst and it will do the same but system and application files will be shown, which might be better anyway to see if it installs anything that might be classified as a system file.

Okay, I am running Solaris 10.

e.g pkginfo -c sunportal_installer > before.install
pkginfo -c sunportal_installer > after.install ??
