Hi, I am interested to know if the Fog server is capable of running a scheduled task every week for Monday, without me entering the task manually myself. I want to run deploy task every Monday on all computers in class. I made a group and looked at schedule features in the deployment, but it looks as I need to enter it every time it ran. Has anyone done this or know a different solution.

I am running a Linux and Windows Images at same time. And some machines even have Dual boot image operating. I can setup the Windows machines to Lock the computers it self on a timer, but this can be removed by students. I wanted this option on the server that I could have a control over this setting, and that if they do close it, I will have a server do it any way and keep their computers safe. Students usually just forget to Lock their computers and walk away and some of them have this setting off.

Hi, I have a quick and simple question that I wanted to ask.

I looked over the FOG settings, I noticed presents of Log Out setting, but I never found Lock Out setting. Students in my class keep wondering why their computers just Log them out. I do understand that this setting Logs them out and not Locks their computer.

I just wonder if there are plans for a future updates, where this option will be possible, or if this option already available then where can I find it, so that I could included in my classroom setting, and keep all students computers safe and secure. Instead of login them out their machine. If this setting isn’t available right now, I just interested to know if this option possible in future updates of FOG machine.

@fry_p I do understand and just wanted to see if i can fix it, but currently its same as it is but I will just go with it and continue to use the system because the system works, i get images and i see no problems and I really look forward to 1.6.0 version of fog, I am really waiting for it be published.

@fry_p You do have a point there, but that’s usually how I do it and that’s one of the ways I was able to go around the error. It spits an error because there is existing user in a system. And i have upgraded my systems already but i didn’t need to face this kind of error in process but the way i know that deleting fogproject user will fix it, was from where i was trying to fix none running server, i had to reinstall the server and when i tried i was getting same error and all i did was go and delete fogproject and run install again and it would work.

@Tom-Elliott I am aware of that, but it something just annoyed and drilled my eyes every time i looked at host list, so i just wanted that to be fixed. And i just made some holes in firewall so just waiting for some results to pop on screen.

@Sebastian-Roth What if i make a rule for TCP port 445 that will allow connection, should it work after that or it still will have problem

Okay I looked up on my server and I believe its fogproject user that needs to be deleted, if your installing it i think there will be no problem if you delete this user because the fog install will create him anyway.

Hi, i had this problem, can you send a screenshot of all users on machine, you have to delete a certain user that fog server creates on the go but if that user is already created it will through an error.

Hi, I am having trouble fixing my host status, I am not sure how to fix it without braking the system because it currently needed to be running, but same time i want to get that fixed so i know what machines are up and running. I got unknown status across all machines on 3 servers. And I have read one forum and I tried but it didn’t work and I wasn’t sure what they meant to replace heading file but I tried to edit the file named resolve.conf , I replace nameserver with server ip address it didn’t work, we are hosting a server under a name fog118, fog119 and fog109. And I am not sure if I have to type in this names for it to work.

Yes, it’s fixed now. Thank you.

I update the for from 1.5.5 to 1.5.6.2 and it seems I got the latest version but fog server still tells me to update to 1.5.6. What’s the difference between 1.5.6 and 1.5.6.2.

@Sebastian-Roth Hello, yes I have setup 3 servers with fog running and I was successful in capturing the image and deploying it to 18 computers at the same time. I did look at FOG API, but I had questions about it like does is it run on bash or other script but later figure that it runs on bash.

Hello everyone, I want to build scripts that will be able to do simple stuff like reboot client computer, I have bash background and I did write scripts with bash, but I don’t know where to start with fog. I need help and little explanation of what happens and how to execute the script itself. I really wanna do this and I have end goal that I want to reach

@Sebastian-Roth Okay, I will give it a try. Thanks for the response.

I want to write a bash script for Ubuntu 18.4 server, the job of bash script is to deploy the image to chosen computer and then send couple more scripts to the computer and run them. Those scripts will run update check for image and when done will run capture work on the same computer, delete themselves and restart the computer, after the computer is done capturing it will be shut down.
In other words, I am trying to do updates automatically without me doing it, but the question I have is, can I write a script to this kind of work.
