My script was a M script, so it could be made to be platform independant. It took a big XML file that contained data settings to be put into the database, and also code for putting that data in. And could do the entire configuration process in about 2 minutes.
The problem is that putting some data fields into the database is dependant on other fields already being present. So one might run the script once and find it to crash. Then run it again immediately, and it would succeed because the first run had partly gotten the required info in. So my next step was to be, before I shelved it, of figuring out the ORDER that data would need to be put in. I would group fields into a pass #1 and pass #2 etc. Kevin --- Greg Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Don't forget that there are Cache users, too. > > I kind of like Red Hat's approach of using a Python > script (Anaconda) > for system setup, but that's just me. > > --- Kevin Toppenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I agree.
