(1) Type:

UNIX Command line tool(s)
to run on OPSI Server

##########################################

(2) Target:

- Check for available Product Updates on Official Servers
- Download and Update new Product version (if availble) on local OPSI Repository
- Set "setup" action for the updated product on all clients having the product already installed.

##########################################

(3) How to setup:

Run this command on opsi Server:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://svn.code.sourceforge.net/p/opsiupdater/code-0/trunk/version-current/lib/opsi-shortcuts.sh) init"

##########################################

(4) required setup-scripts structure:

These strings are required in your setup.ins (Product Setup script)

[Actions]
DefVar $ProductVersion$
Set $ProductVersion$  = "24.3.0"

The last string should be applied as it is considering spaces.
The version number (eg. 24.3.0) should be the same number as the product version number
and - for some products only - as the version number of the installer file name.

For example if installer file name is:

"Firefox Setup 24.3.0esr.exe"

In the setup.ins, the predefined variable should be used to run the setup.
Example:

[Winbatch_install_32]
"%ScriptPath%\files\Firefox Setup $ProductVersion$esr.exe" -ms -ira

Background information: the opsi-info script changes the version number in the opsi database and
also modifies the setup script for the corresponding version number.

A working sample is available inside "setup-scripts" Folder

##########################################

(5) How to run opsi-updater:

1) I would recommend defining the following shortcuts by editing your .bashrc / .profile
(Read How to setup using SVN first)

vim ~/.bashrc

2) Add these lines

alias opsi-info='/home/opsimaint/opsiupdater/trunk/version-current/lib/opsi-info.sh'
alias opsi-updater='/home/opsimaint/opsiupdater/trunk/version-current/opsi-updater.sh'
alias opsi-updater-update='svn update /home/opsimaint/opsiupdater'

3) Run this command line on your OPSI Server:

opsi-updater

or if you prefer you can directly run opsi-updater.sh from the location you copied it

##########################################
