   # Import old version database
   bzcat latest-app.bz2 |mysql -uapp -papp app
else
   # Insert new version database
   mysql -uappname -pappname appname < appname.sql;
fi

NOTE: if statement switches are:

-d: directory
-f: file

App Start on Boot

  • Install Script:
/usr/bin/crontab -l > apache-crontab;
cat >> apache-crontab << 'EOF'
@reboot /var/hda/web-apps/appname/html/startup.sh
EOF
/usr/bin/crontab apache-crontab;
rm -rf apache-crontab;
  • Uninstall Script:

sudo ./installscript.sh;
cd ..;
rm -rf elevated;
