Install Drupal on your MOTD Site
This script starts a new[*] Drupal installation on your MOTD site.
The installation process requires the following steps:
1. Create target directory and copy Drupal files (this script)
2. Set Drupal configuration (web-based)
3. Define cron job for update process (use MKCRON)
[*] If target directory contains a previous Drupal installation,
all files will be OVER-WRITTEN! To upgrade an existing Drupal
installation, see Drupal documentation.
Press Ctrl-C at any prompt to abort.

To configure your Drupal installation, access the following URL with
your web browser (See ...):
$desturl
(Open the "Advanced Options" submenu to set your database configuration.)
Then run at the shell MKCRON and use the CREATE command to create a
cron job for your Drupal's update process.
Recommended cron job parameters are:
| PROMPT | INPUT |
|-----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------|
| Enter the full path ... | /usr/pkg/bin/curl --silent --compressed <URI>[*] |
| What day of the week ... | (return) |
| What month ... | (return) |
| What day of the month ... | (return) |
| What hour of the day ... | (return) |
| How often ... | 1 |
| What minute of the hour ... | 45 |
| Is this ok? | y |
Use the SYNC command before exiting MKCRON.
[*] Copy URI from your Drupal web site under Reports > Status report >
"To run cron from outside the site, go to".
