What is the idea?
@jaimergp,
Is there a way for the post-install script to determine whether the installer is running in silent (.exe with /S) or batch (.sh with -b) mode?
Otherwise, is it possible to implement a feature in which command-line arguments provided to the installer (.exe, .sh or .pkg) are passed to the post-install script?
Why is this needed?
For our Spyder installer, the post-install script is designed to launch Spyder automatically upon completing the install. It is desirable to forego this behavior if the Spyder installer is executed from the command-line in either batch or silent mode.
The ability to pass command-line arguments to the post-install script could provide more flexibility for developers that use the post-install script.
What should happen?
