5.2.5 Registering Linux scripts and SPP and PSP dependency scripts

The difference between a Linux script and an SPP or a PSP dependency script is that scripts that
are registered in the repository as an SPP or PSP Dependency Script item type are made
available for use during the SPP or PSP installation.

Scripts that are registered in the repository as a Linux script item type are:

Run manually on managed systems with the Tools

→Command Line Tools→Run Script... menu

item

Deployed before and after the capture of a Linux image from a managed system

Deployed before and after the deployment of a captured Linux image to a server.

To register a script in the repository, follow these steps:
1.

Select the following menu item from the Insight Control user interface:

Options

→IC-Linux→Manage Repository

2.

Select New.

3.

Next to the Item Type field, select either Linux script or SPP or PSP dependency script.

4.

Select Next.

5.

Supply a name and description for the script. The script name must end with a .sh extension.

Because the value you supply for the script name is used to create the script directory in the
repository, the name cannot contain spaces, cannot be blank, and must use only the following
characters:

Lowercase letters a through z

Uppercase letters A through Z

Numbers 0 (zero) through 9
