just to add another recommendation: you could look into using Cobbler's triggers to run a script (sh, python, perl etc..) that does whatever you want done after cobbler completes the action to which the trigger is tied.
Cobbler docs: https://fedorahosted.org/cobbler/wiki/CobblerTriggers personally, I'd look at using a trigger here: '/var/lib/cobbler/triggers/install/post/' or here if done in pure python: '/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/cobbler/modules/' byron -----Original Message----- From: cobbler-boun...@lists.fedorahosted.org [mailto:cobbler-boun...@lists.fedorahosted.org] On Behalf Of Matt Wallace Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2010 7:10 AM To: cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org Subject: Confirming when a VM has been provisioned? Hi all, Is there anyway of querying the cobbler XML-RPC API to find out if a node has finished building? At the moment, the best way I can find is to check the last two lines of the logs, but I can't help thinking that if the server knows when the build has finished so it can put it in the log, the API must also know when the build is finished so i can "tell" the server to mark the build as completed in the log. I'm running some automated testing at the moment and I need to know that my VMs are up before I run the config-mgmt system against it! :) Thanks in advance, Matt _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list cobbler@lists.fedorahosted.org https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
