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 = user password |
| • | 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
Then create the following file in the library directory in the system root of the MAC in the LaunchDaemons directory:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC -//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd >
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>aagon.inventory</string>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/usr/sbin/aagon/inventory/aagon-inventory.sh</string>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>
<true/>
<key>StartInterval</key>
<integer>INTERVAL in minutes</integer>
</dict>
</plist>
Save this file as aagon-inventory.plist. Then change the authorizations of the file as follows:
> chown root:wheel aagon.inventory.plist
> chmod 644 aagon.inventory.plist
After the next reboot, the script will run as a service and scan the client at the specified interval.
