WARNING: Integrating a Custom Script
Additional scripts to be executed by SCPM must be made readable and exe-
cutable for the superuser (root). Access to these files must be blocked for all
other users. Enter the commands chmod 700 filename and chown
root:root filename to give root exclusive permissions to the files.
Query all additional settings entered with set with get. The command scpm get
poststart, for example, returns the name of the poststart call or simply nothing if
nothing has been attached. Reset such settings by overwriting with "". The command
scpm set prestop "" removes the attached prestop program.
All set and get commands can be applied to an arbitrary profile in the same manner
as comments are added. For example, scpm get prestop filename work or
scpm get prestop work.
27.5 Troubleshooting
This section covers frequent problems encountered with SCPM. Learn how they can
arise and how you can solve these issues.
27.5.1 SCPM and NetworkManager
NetworkManager and SCPM share functionality. Both integrate a machine into an ex-
isting network, hiding this transaction from the user. NetworkManager works dynami-
cally and adapts to any new environment. SCPM is used to restore defined system setups.
Using NetworkManager and SCPM in parallel does not work properly, because Net-
workManager does not provide configurations that can be restored by SCPM. SCPM
works exceedingly well for anyone who needs reproducible setups. Any private user
constantly switching networks should consider using NetworkManager if network setup
is the only component that needs to be adjusted. If you want to use SCPM to manage
your system configuration but NetworkManager to manage networking, remove the
network resource from SCPM. If you want to use SCPM for network configuration
management, disable NetworkManager.
