If you want to modify or run in in a better time then you probably need to know it before running pkg install / pkg upgrade command. Then you probably need to fetch a package alone (pkg upgrade with -f or --fetch-only) and then you can unpack +MANIFEST from it and use some JSON / YAML tool to examine content (e.g. textproc/jq). After that you can run pkg upgrade (or pkg install) again with -I or --no-install-scripts. > As a follow-on from this, we would like to use the "files" list to set the MAC mls/ settings as a post-install task, so getting the first, filename element (of filename:signature,) from the "files" list is important. > Thank-you. You can get the list of the installed files by "pkg info -l pkgname" or "pkg query '%Fp' pkgname" Miroslav Lachman
