We have a samba domain in the office, and have been using WPKG for some time to install and update software on desktop computers that are attached to the domain. It works great. There are several laptops that aren't attached to the domain. We'd like to use WPKG with them too. Often they are out of the office and cannot access internal servers (where our current WPKG setup now sits). Here's what we thought up; A scheduled task would run a batch file that would pull a copy of itself (so we can update it if necessary), the WPKG and config files from our web server using rsync or wget. WPKG would then run locally, pulling necessary installers from our web server (again using rsync or wget) and then delete them to save disk space. I guess I'm looking for comments, suggestions, and feedback. Has anyone else in a similar situation done it differently? Any suggestions about wget versus rsync?
