AUTORUN ON CD IN UNIX

[Brendan McCaffrey]

Hi everyone,
questions, questions, questions,
all i ever do is ask questions.

I'm cutting my software release installer onto a unix cd.
Can anyone inform me "Is there a way to autodetect a CD in unix (eg AIX, HPUX, SCO).
something like autorun on windows.

I know of one on linux but not on the others.

Regards Benji

Hiya Benji-

As far as I know, there isn't a way to auto run a CD in most Unix operating systems. I would probably write a simple shell script for your customers to run after the put the installation CD in to mount the drive and run whatever programs you want on there.

HTH.
