ezUpdate Advanced Topics
ezUpdate also can be used to install snap-ins. The snap-in can be set up as
part of an automatic software update, or as part of an automatic profile
update. It can also be installed separately by either method.
Snap-ins generally come with an install.nl script that is used to direct the
thin client appliance's installation of the snap-in files. However, the script
that governs the ezUpdate process does not contain a way to identify and
use the snap-in install.nl. To add snap-ins using ezUpdate, you must cus-
tomize one of the ezUpdate scripts (a server file with .nl extension). Adding
the line
netconfig -p <sub_dir>
directs ezUpdate to jump into the <sub_dir> directory and continue install-
ing files that are located there.
For example, suppose you have defined a profile named "web_kiosk" and
you want to install the "French Netscape" snap-in as part of this profile.
After making sure the files are on the server, you must edit the profile's
install.nl file to direct it to also install the "French Netscape." If this snap-in
is stored in a sub-directory named "fr-ns" then you must add the following
line to the profile's install.nl:
netconfig -p fr-ns
