    I am packaging a executable using mkinstallp. The executabe will run as a service when installed. For same I have scripts in rc2.d so that it can start after boot. I would also like that the service starts after installation. For this I am trying to provide post-installation script. In the template for mkinstallp, I have the following section.

     

      ROOTLIBLPPFiles

        Post-installation Script: SCRIPT_BASE_DIR/post_install.sh

      EOROOTLIBLPPFiles

     

    I am using ROOTLIBLPPFiles because I want to run the executable as root. However, this does not work. What am I missing? Interestingly, the following works fine:

      USRLIBLPPFiles

        Post-installation Script: SCRIPT_BASE_DIR/post_install.sh

      EOUSRLIBLPPFiles
