@Junkhacker hostname is part of the script. I also need to do something else such as downloading a particular file with specific variable passed from the argument

@Junkhacker can I run that on the home directory after the computer finishes provisioning? Thanks for jumping in

@george1421 Thing is getting more clear. However, I still need some help. The reason why I need run script every time after I provision the computer is because with different computer I need to download different stuff for the different computer. Let’s say that I have computerA and computerB that I need to provision. How can I possibly specify argument with script, such as, Computer=ComputerA ./script.sh on the home directory?

@george1421 I basically want to eliminate the part that I need to run the script after the provision is done.

@george1421 I think I need to be more precise. Let’s say that the image is deployed properly. Is that a way I can run script just like you can run that on the terminal? For now, after I complete the imaging provision, I have to power up the computer and run customized script to download something and install certain package which is must be done after the imaging process.I am sorry if I did not make the point clear

Thanks so much for your info. Basically, the way I use the FOG is to provision physical computer. After the imaging process is complete, I would like to run some kind of script on the target system, such as making curl request to download something. I don’t know if that is possible with FOG @george1421

This helps a lot. This is an amazing project

Hi guys. I have used Fog for a while and definitely this is a great project and saves a lot of my time on provisioning new machine.

Does Fog have a feature that allows us to run script after it finishes provisioning, just like building AWS EC2 instance? Could that be a feature request if it does not exist?

Thanks

@Wayne-Workman Thanks. This is very helpful

First of all, I want to say that, this is a great product that allows us to set up new computer quickly and efficiently. Easy of installation, provisioning, and management, I can’t say no more.
I got a question about the remote management. Definitely, we can clone a computer locally because it is under the same network. However, is that possible that we can clone a computer remotely? The main page of Fog says it is possible to do remote management. How can that be possible if they are not under the same network? Thanks
