Unix software delivery package
Updated: 21 May 2010 | 2 comments
All,
I'm stumped. I'm creating a new Unix Software Delivery package for Solaris 10 and when I run it, I get a weird character on the command line:
Running command line "/bin/sh -c "pkgadd ân SFGbbclient-4.admin -G -d ./SFGbbclient-4.1-sol10-sparc.pkg
That ân should be a -n. Later in the command, it parses -G and -d just fine. Why would it blerg the first - in the command?
Thanks.

It's got to be something other than a real '-'. Have you retyped it, including characters before and after it?
I've had weird things like that happen when pasting from a Word or Outlook message, where it has converted the - to a "double dash" (--) character, then when you paste it again into a plain-text field, it comes out "messed up" like you describe. Also Word's "smart quotes" are a real pain when you're trying to make a list of strings to put in a query (i.e. 'COMPUTER1', 'COMPUTER2', 'COMPUTER3' and Word "fixes" the quotes into characters which aren't valid for plain ASCII.
Thanks,
