Take a look at the example in this doc: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Sync-ing_Config_Files_to_Nodes
The way EXECUTE works, is it will execute postinstall.post, If postinstall file is sync'd to the node. The idea is you would want to sync a configuration file to the node and then run a script to restart the application using that configuration file. But you would only want to do it, if the file changed. Note the names of the files are tied together. The <filename> to sync and the <filename>.post to execute. So your synclist should have looked like: /root/postinstall -> /root/postinstall EXECUTE: /root/postinstall.post Now to just generally run scripts after install, you can use the postscripts table and add your own scripts. The procedure for doing this is in the following doc: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xcat/index.php?title=Postscripts_and_Prescripts Lissa K. Valletta 2-3/T12 Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 (tie 293) 433-3102 From: Ben De Luca <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 11/22/2011 04:18 AM Subject: [xcat-user] new user, trouble with synclists Hi All, Im new to xcat as of last week, and its been a particularily impresive/easy trip so far, but now im stuck. I am using a synclist to configure my machines post install, but I cant get the EXECUTE functionality to work. My synclist looks like this, the file is synced. /root/postinstall.post -> /root/postinstall.post EXECUTE: /root/postinstall.post postinstall.post looks like. #!/bin/sh echo please work > /root/itworked.txt But I can never get the itworked file to appear, and I am a little stuck on where to go next. Is this the way to run a script after install? Should I be doing it some other way? Is this expected to work? is there a log of whats happening that I may be able to check on the machine to see what went wrong? -bd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
