dpkg-trigger(1) dpkg suite dpkg-trigger(1)NAME
dpkg-trigger - a package trigger utility
SYNOPSIS
dpkg-trigger [option...] trigger-name
dpkg-trigger [option...] command
DESCRIPTION
dpkg-trigger is a tool to explicitly activate triggers and check for its support on the running dpkg.
This can be used by maintainer scripts in complex and conditional situations where the file triggers, or the declarative activate triggers
control file directive, are insufficiently rich. It can also be used for testing and by system administrators (but note that the triggers
won't actually be run by dpkg-trigger).
Unrecognised trigger name syntaxes are an error for dpkg-trigger.
COMMANDS --check-supported
Check if the running dpkg supports triggers (usually called from a postinst). Will exit 0 if a triggers-capable dpkg has run, or 1
with an error message to stderr if not. Normally, however, it is better just to activate the desired trigger with dpkg-trigger.
-h, --help
Show the usage message and exit.
--version
Show the version and exit.
OPTIONS --admindir=dir
Change the location of the dpkg database. The default location is /var/lib/dpkg.
--by-package=package
Override trigger awaiter (normally set by dpkg through the DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE environment variable of the maintainer scripts,
naming the package to which the script belongs, and this will be used by default).
--no-await
This option arranges that the calling package T (if any) need not await the processing of this trigger; the interested package(s) I,
will not be added to T's trigger processing awaited list and T's status is unchanged. T may be considered installed even though I
may not yet have processed the trigger.
--no-act
Just test, do not actually change anything.
ENVIRONMENT
DPKG_ADMINDIR
If set and the --admindir option has not been specified, it will be used as the dpkg data directory.

Why do shell builtins like echo and pwd have binaries in /bin? When I do which pwd, I get the one in /bin. that means that I am not using the builtin version? What determines which one gets used? Is the which command a definitive way to determine what is being run when I enter pwd? (16 Replies)
Introduction
I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:
$ ls -ld /usr/bin /usr/bin/cat
drwxrwxr-x 3 root bin 8704 Sep 23 2004 /usr/bin
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin ... (6 Replies)
I see lot of ad-hoc shell scripts in our servers which don't have a shebang at the beginning .
Does this mean that it will run on any shell ?
Is it a good practice to create scripts (even ad-hoc ones) without shebang ? (16 Replies)
For a starter I know the braces are NOT in the code...
Consider these code snippets:-

Hi all,
I am learning POSIX shell programming, and the book I read, uses the let command for integer arithmetic.
I have downloaded and use the shellcheck program on Linux.
This programs says:
In POSIX sh, 'let' is undefined.

I don't know how to start this but here goes.
I've been "using" Linux for over 10 years, possibly more and I still feel like I'm nowhere

Hi all, (mainly Neo)...
I keep noticing that the SQRT code I wrote recently for a POSIX shell keeps appearing, (the green colour sticks out like a sore thumb).
So I decided to take a look on Google.
