Description

So i am trying to run a post deployment snapin on linux client after image deployment. My snapins never run . I am using bash snapins . Are snapins supported on linux and if so what do i need to do to make them run ?

Simple question - did you install the FOG Client onto the linux box first? See below.
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=FOG_Client

If you did, there will be a file called /opt/fog-service/fog.log on the target host that we need to see to help.

How would i install something on a machine that i am deploying images on ?

[kleanthis]

Fog Client ? You mean on the Fog Server or the actual deploy destination . If i have to install Fog Client on my destination first what is the point of trying to automated command execution after deployment ?

[Tom Elliott]

@kleanthis The fog client, the software you installed on the host to have the FOG server manage that particular system.

[kleanthis]

I did not install Fog Client on the target box no . But how will i install Fog client on an empty box before i will deploy an image?

[Tom Elliott]

@kleanthis You install the client on the image you capture. This way the client is installed on the deployed machines automatically.

[Joe Schmitt]

@kleanthis just like any other software you’d want on that machine; install it in the image before capture.

True that , will give it a go . In any case , if i install fog client then i can run linux bash scripts no problem right?

[Tom Elliott]

@kleanthis Well, you have to write the scripts, so if they’re good to go, then yes.
