You're right. In that case remediation would not be possible. What I was trying to say is that you can start implementing things in whatever language suits you the best. And get the first implementation done quickly. That bash content can be added later if indeed needed. If you have multiple fix elements for the given Rule, OpenSCAP can choose the best fitting one. That decision process is based also on the existence of interpreter binary. > R, > -Joe > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > *From:* Simon Lukasik <[email protected]> > ** > Regarding the selection of fix languages, I don't think that you need to > use the only one language exclusively.
