7 opsi-client-agent
7.1 Overview
55 / 193
To make Software distribution manageable for the system administrator, a client computer has to notice that new
software-packets or updates are available and install them without user interaction. It is important to make userinteraction
completely obsolete as the installation can run unattended this way and a user cannot stop the installation
during the installation process.
These requirements are implemented in opsi by the opsi-client-agent:
On the client side the service opsiclientd examines usually at boot time, before the user logs in, whether an update
has to be installed for this client.
If there are software packets to be installed on the client, the script processing program opsi-winst is being started to
do the installation job. The server provides all the installation scripts and software files on a file share. At this time
the user has no chance to interfere with the installation process.
As an additional option the module loginblocker can be installed to prevent a user login before the end of the installation
process is reached.
Before any software can be installed with the opsi-winst program, it has to be prepared as opsi-product-package. For
details see Chapter Integration of new software packets into the opsi software deployment from the getting started
manual.
7.2 Directories of the opsi-client-agent
The opsi-client-agent is installed at %ProgramFiles%\opsi.org\opsi-client-agent.
This directory contains all programs of the opsi-client-agent like e.g. the opsiclientd, the opsiclientd notifier, the
opsi-winst and some required libraries. Also we will find here the configuration files and graphical templates (skins)
of the mentioned programs.
The directory %ProgramFiles%\opsi.org\opsi-client-agent is protected against manipulation by users without
administrator privileges.
The directory %ProgramFiles%\opsi.org\opsi-client-agent\opsiclientd contains the configuration file of the
opsiclientd and you need administrator privileges to read it.
There also is the directory c:\opsi.org.
This directory is used (at the moment) for caching installation files and data (see WAN-Extension). In future it will
have some more functions like containing log files.
You need administrator privileges to read the directory c:\opsi.org.
The log files of the opsi-client-agent you will find in c:\tmp.
