Depends on what we want to achieve. With Ocs we can deploy a package. this package can be a tar-ball to be stored on the client, or a command to be executed, or a combination of both. I can for example create a shell script that are to edit /etc/hosts on all (or just one or a few) machines. The big benefit is that I don't need to log onto each client, to deploy anything. The machines will itself find out that there is things to do, and I can log in to ocs, and see how many has gotten which fix (or package). So you could use it to deploy a cfengine script, and then run it. or it can be used to deploy lets say bindkeys and some other stuff on a number of clients, using either aptitude, or dpkg (your choice...) // faj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
