install script to run then reboot and continue

Question

I have a script that is a pre installation script for a specific piece of software. the script takes care of a lot of the pre-requisites of the installation as well as kernel configuration.

What I am trying to do is create a set of scripts that automates the entire installation of this software and what I would like to know is if there is a way to have a script reboot the box and then ONE TIME kick off the second script that will execute the post reboot commands automatically to complete the installation.

I have several boxes I need to run this on (in excess of 40-50) and would really appreciate a way to do such a task where i can run the first script and have it take care of the reboot and completion of install.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

A solution is to add the script path in /etc/rc.local, that way, the script will be ran @reboot
