READ ONLY FORUM: m23 :: makes software distribution easy

jaywalker · Guest

I did set up a m23 server from the debian repository.

As a next step, I tried manual integration of a client.
However, when I do
wget http://SERVERIP/work.php -O work.php,

the work.php file on the client contains only
#!/bin/bash
and nothing else.
Obviously, executing it will not integrate the client.

There are php notices in the servers error log:

kill [options] <pid> [...]

Options:
<pid> [...] send signal to every <pid> listed
-<signal>, -s, --signal <signal>
specify the <signal> to be sent
-l, --list=[<signal>] list all signal names, or convert one to a name
-L, --table list all signal names in a nice table

-h, --help display this help and exit
-V, --version output version information and exit

For more details see kill(1).

To make sure that I did not any mistakes during install, I also tested this against the m23 Virtualbox appliance as server. However, I get exactly the same behavior.

How can I proceed with manual client integration?

Hi,

I've just tested and cannot reproduce it.

As server I used the m23 server VM appliance with the latest (security) update, as the client to integrate a VM with Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (SSH server running).

After entering the client name, IP and credentials into the m23 webinterface the integration begins automatically. The trick with

Hello,

thank you for your support!
When I try to perform the integration from the web interface, the client appears with status red, 4/4 jobs waiting and no hardware information is available.

Today I figured out that this can be solved by simply rebooting the client after the manual integration! Sorry that I did not try this simple solution earlier...

However, after integration, the root password of the client is deleted and password-less login is possible on the console. Is this normal?

Best regards

Hi,

I have another question: Is it possible to integrate non-Debian-based distributions that are supported via halfSister, like e.g. openSUSE?

Best regards
