[BUG?] Dont delete Logs after CleanUp #502

Closed mazeo2112 closed 4 months ago

mazeo2112 commented 4 months ago

Hey,

not sure if BUG or FR, but I also tried to edit the script to avoid deleting the logs after successfully upgraded, but with the cleanup-after trigger.

I tried to replace Log directory to /LIbrary/Logs/erase-install, but also in this place the logs will be deleted after Upgrade. I cant find the Line in wich this is provided that the $logdir will always be deleted.

Can you guys help me with that?

Thanks in advance and great jobs on this tool! Maze

Hi there, that should not be happening unless you are using the --cleanup-after-use option?

mazeo2112 commented 4 months ago

Hey, yes we do, because we want to clear /Library/Management after Upgrade, but still want to have the logs.

So that is not a bug, it's working as intended.

But you could use a --postinstall-command flag to copy the log to another location, so long as the permissions are correct. /Users/Shared for example.

great Idea!
