Oh, cool 🙂
I will test in today or tomorrow

Listen, why did you use root as the owner of pandora?
In my humble opinion, it´s much better to use pandora user. It´s not difficult to check if the user is on the system already and if not, create it, from the script, I mean.

And another thing, the default www dir is not /var/www/html for every distro, so another cool “plugin” could be detect the distro (If you have seen the pandora_agent.sh you have realised that there´s some code to detect distros, haven´t you?
Ok, so, maybe depending on the distro the www PATH could be one or another, is it clear?
For example Suse do not use the same path as fedora (either RHEL…)

Just some ideas to make that script useful for any Linux distro.

Kind regards.

great idea, thanks, I did this script rapidly and to be the simplest it could be, that’s why all the variables are preceding the whole script, so users can easily spot the values they have to change to fit their needs.
The main reason is that I didn’t really need this, and was quiet hurried to achive an automated installation script.

So yes I saw the code conserning distrib detection, and this can simply be copy & pasted at the beginning of the script to determine “on the fly” the values stored in the variables.

And it seems that all the traffic measuring on the different network interfaces is producing incoherent data… don’t know why though, if you could help me debug this…

I will repost a new version which will detect the linux distribution, but I won’t configure them all in… ;-P I will let it to one user of the different distributions (I’m using Mandriva 2007 and Fedora Core 6).

Concerning the script making all the agent files owned to root, it’s because all my agents are run by root user with root privileges because certain tasks can’t be executed with simple user privileges (some hardware detection), so I made them owned by root.

bye for now and thanks to you for your suggestion!

Edit: PS: The last lines where added because I didn’t see the “learn” option in Pandora Console, But I don’t think wee will need it, or it just could be used as a test for checking the SSH communication.

So it’s done: (I pasted only the beginning of the file, because the rest of it doesn’t change)

And so on … (like the first version of the code).
I also did a “pandora server” installation script but didn’t test it, so it’s not been debugged.
I ‘ll post it as a new thread.
bye for now!

Great!
Debian (and of course, ubuntu) uses as a DocumentRoot:
/var/www

Suse uses:
/srv/www
