That's considerably more complicated than a simple client-side install by dragging an application to a folder. :-) I wonder if you realize that there are mechanisms already in place on every Mac to handle 'push' installs for any installer package. Apple Remote Desktop makes this easy for any application. You can select multiple computers on your network, tell it to install a package, run a script, copy a file, etc. In the case of a standard installer package, you can just select the package and it'll run silently on all clients. This, IMO, is a far better solution than reinventing the wheel for an individual application. From the very first page of the document I sent you: "Network administrators can use a type of managed install, a remote install, to install a product on several networked computers using Remote Desktop. No user interaction occurs in this type of install." The how-to's on that, however, are best suited for another list, but that is *the* standard way on OS X - it unfortunately requires ARD (Apple Remote Desktop), I believe. A somewhat clunkier method might be to run a script via SSH ... -- I.S. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
