Documentation for the MacOS-CLient?

Hello,

I've downloaded the MacOS-Agent 1.02 from here: https://sourceforge.net/project/downloa … a=48706042

Is there any Documentation for that Agent (how is it startet, cron or AT, where are the files located etc. )

Thanks

Regards

Kevin

The development of the agent has moved to launchpad and a new version has been released there.

Maybe use the newest version which is now located at https://launchpad.net/ocsinventory-unix-agent ?

All the files used by the agent are in the .app directory.

Cheers!

The doc in the Mac OS X installation builder can be helpfull

http://www.ocsinventory-ng.org/index.php?page=1-02-1

Otherwise : the startup of services has changed between the releases of MacOS X, so the agent uses a different way depending on the version of the OS. Basically everything is installed into /Applications and on OSX  versions greater than 10.3 the service is launched through launchctl. See doc about launchctl, for example  http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/ … ctl.1.html or http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech … index.html

Re: Documentation for the MacOS-CLient?

I fear the answer is "documentation is to be written" ...

They are 2 ways of configuring the agent :

1. rebuild the package with custom configuration files and certificate (some documentation in the source tree ; need to be written)

2. after installation edit or replace the configuration files which are (sorry i have no mac under the hand to check now) either in /private/etc/ocsinventory-agent /private/etc/ocsinventory or /Applications/OCSNG if i remember well.
