Answer 1

You can specify the shell to use in the script with -p I believe.

So it would look like:

%post -p /sbin/ldconfig

Or:

%post -p /bin/ksh
do_stuff_here

Answer 2

Scriptlets in a spec file are normally executed by bash; however, if you need to use a different shell you could of course do that. Just write something like this:

cat > /tmp/script <<EOF
# write script here

EOF

ksh /tmp/script

OK, that is not very secure but you get the idea. This would be more secure, but I'm not sure if it would work:

ksh <<EOF
# write script here

EOF
