Sending popup messages
Using the opsi-configed you may send messages to the clients. Section 4.3.8
At the command line you may do this with the tool opsi-admin:
opsi-admin -d method hostControl_showPopup message *hostid
Example:
opsi-admin -d method hostControl_showPopup "This is my message" "myclient.uib.local"
Push installations: start the event on demand

The opsi-server may send a command to the client that the client should process the configured action requests
immediately. This is done by activating the event on_demand at the client.
This is possible using the opsi-configed and is described in chapter: Push installationen: start the event on demand
From the opsi-server the client can be instructed to execute the product actions.
Executing Events can also be done from the opsi-configed. Section 4.3.8
On the command line you may use opsi-admin to fire an event:
opsi-admin -d method hostControl_fireEvent event *hostIds
Example:
opsi-admin -d method hostControl_fireEvent "on_demand" "myclient.uib.local"
Additional maintenance tasks (shutdown, reboot,. . . ..)
Using the control server port you may remote control the opsiclientd. In order to do this you have to authenticate
yourself at the web service. This could be done either with the local administrator account (with a not empty password)
or with the opsi-host-Id (FQDN, client name and DNS Domain name) as user name and the opsi-hostkey as password.
Using the opsi-configed you may choose the menu opsiClient or the context menu in the Clients Tab.
