Hi Wulf Man, I don't know, is there a way to tell? Looking at what's inside there is no text script but the is ELF at the beginning so I assume its and exe?
The suppliers told me "eveusbd is the UNG daemon (starts with the system and is constantly running in the background), eveusbc is a command-line utility for controlling it. So you are probably looking for the latter." so again I would have assumed an exe? I uploaded and unpacked the .tgz file. I assume that only unpacks and doesn't install anything. I couldn't find any related processes running or anything in /systemd for startup but without an exact name I'm not sure. One this that seem clear from what they told me is: "eveusbc is a command-line utility for controlling it".
