Hi,
you can use the %post part of the kickstart for that, then your script will run after installation is complete but before the reboot. If you need to run it after the first reboot, I'd put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local and let it remove itself after running succesfully. And of course copy the script to the server using the %post part of kickstart ;)

Hi all
I'm busy with a kickstart file to automate server installations, and I need to run a bash script right after the server has been installed for the first time. But the script only needs to run once, and it needs to run automatically. How do I do that?

ok, that's what I'm looking for. I should only run after reboot. Basically I want to install the Xen3.2 rpm's on CentOS5.1 x64 after it's been installed via a kickstart file. The CentOS Xen kernel first needs to boot (thus a reboot after the installation), then install the new Xen3.2 rpm's, and reboot again. I'm sure this could then be done with a simple if statement to check if a certain file exists, say /firstboot; then execute it, if not just continues?
/etc/rc.local is a file, is there any folders where I can add it to instead, from where I can the just self-delete it? is it safe to add it as say /etc/rc3.d/S99firstboot?
