Launch SilentInstall.sh from a console. You must include a license acceptance switch as an argument when you run this script. Other arguments depend on whether you plan to run a typical or custom installation.
You can display options for this script by running the SilentInstall.sh script with the –h or –? option in a console.

You can run a typical silent install directly from the installation CD. The command you use to launch the install must include a version switch (– licensed_user or – eval_user) and – license acceptance switch:
% ./<DVD_mount_directory>/SilentInstall.sh –licensed_user –I_accept_sybase_license
If the $SYBASE environment variable is not set, you must also specify the -dst parameter.
Custom install commands must include a –txt switch that points to the location of the modified SilentInstall.txt, as well as a version switch and license acceptance switch:
% ./SilentInstall.sh –txt <directory name>/SilentInstall.txt –licensed_user –I_accept_sybase_license
If you do not have the $SYBASE environment variable set, you must also specify the -dst parameter.
If you change the license acceptance and destination parameters in the SilentInstall.txt file, you need not specify those options on the command line.
You can monitor silent installs by running a tail command on the logfile. The default name and location of this file is /tmp/IQ15ConsoleNNNN.log where NNNN is the PID. Change the name and location of this file by adding -cl and the log location as a command line parameter when you launch the silent install.
