Absolutely! To get an idea how this works, read the later sections of <http://unattended.sourceforge.net/advanced.html>. Something like this, if added to the sample config.pl I sent earlier, should do the trick: $u->{'_meta'}->{'OS_media} = sub { my $tag = $u->{'_meta'}->{'asset_tag'}; defined $tag or return undef; my $licenses = $soft_by_owner->{$tag} || [ ]; foreach my $license (@$licenses) { my $desc = hash_ref ($license, 'Type'); $desc =~ /Windows 2000/ and return 'z:\\os\\win2k'; $desc =~ /Windows XP/ and return 'z:\\os\\winxp'; } return undef; }; In other words, you just write a subroutine to compute [_meta]/OS_media from [_meta]/asset_tag. You can compute anything from anything in this way, if you can write the code to express it. Hm, perhaps this whole thing would make a good example to add to advanced.html. > Another question; Isn't it possible to use qchain for all the > Windows Updates so the systems wouldn't have to reboot for like a > thousand times? It is possible, but I do not trust it: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00167.html http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00448.html XP service pack 2 should be out in a few months, which will help somewhat. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
