First create a file in the directory /usr/sbin/aagon/inventory with the following content:
#!/bin/bash
python /usr/sbin/aagon/inventory/inventory.py smbOutput=HOSTNAME.xml, %ZIELVERZEICHNIS%,%BENUTZER%,%PASSWORT%,%DOMAIN%
exit 0
| • | HOSTNAME = name of the client |
| • | ZIELVERZEICHNIS = target directory XML importer |
| • | BENUTZER = user with write access for the target directory |
| • | PASSWORT |
| • | DOMAIN = user domain |
Save this file as aagon-inventory.sh. Then you must change the authorizations of the file as follows:
> chown root:wheel aagon-inventory.sh
> chmod 775 aagon-inventory.sh
In a next step, execute the following command with root rights:
> crontab –l > /usr/sbin/aagon/inventory/cron.txt
Then add the following line at the end of the file cron.txt:
0 10 * * 1 /usr/sbin/python /usr/sbin/aagon/inventory/aagon-inventory.sh
In this way, the client is scanned every Monday at 10:00 clock. The interval can be defined as desired. This setting is only as a recommendation. Finally, execute the following command with root rights:
> crontab cron.txt
The script is now running as a cron job and scans the client at the specified interval.
