File Injection (possibly through Snapin management)

[Wayne Workman]

@Tom-Elliott Not everyone is of the mentality to write their own. Snapins have viewable status via the web interface already and have logs on each host already. It’s not wrong to point out this difference, and it’s not wrong to choose snapins because of this difference.

@Wayne-Workman My point isn’t about people’s “mentalities” just rather the direct facts.

People who are working to create a postdownloadscript that would like logging to be included in some form should be thinking of these things. They’re ultimately in full control of the process, which would also include logging/reporting if that’s what they so need.

While you’re correct that snapins and snapinpacks have the “logging” built in, that’s not to say a postdownload script cannot. The idea of postdownload scripts is to give the person creating it FULL control. What you do with it is completely up to YOU. How you approach logging is up to you. What that script will do is up to, you guessed it, YOU.

Just because it’s not something others may be thinking about does not mean it’s a failure in the “system” itself.
