Bundle Installing/Updating/Removing: When you use the rug command line interface
to install, update, or remove bundles, the software informs users of dependencies that are
installed, updated, or removed. This is the same behavior that the GUI ZENworks Linux
Management Software Updater uses (
zen-updater
).
Š
Upgrade Only: You use this option when installing a bundle. The installation is
performed only if given packages are already installed.
Š
Install: Advanced format for the
rug install
command. You can specify resolvables
in the following formats:
name
name-arch
name-version
name-version-release
name-version-release-arch
name-epoc-version-release-arch
epoch:name-version-release-arch
/path/to/local/package.rpm

10.1.10 ZENworks Control Center
ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management provides the following enhancements to the ZENworks Control
Center (ZCC):
Š
Bundle Details: ZENworks 7.2 Linux Management lets you view a device’s assigned bundles
and packages. Click a device object, click the Inventory tab, then click Bundle Details . The
Installed Bundles page provides a list of bundles that, when clicked, shows a detailed list of
packages for the bundle.
Š
Bundle Persistence: With ZENworks Linux Management, bundles persist. After the initial
installation of the bundle, the ZENworks Linux Management Agent running on the managed
device checks each time it refreshes to see if the bundle is installed. If it is not, it re-installs the
bundle. This is the default behavior.
With ZENworks Linux Management 7.2, there is an added option to make a bundle not persist.
After the bundle’s initial installation, the ZENworks Linux Management Agent does not check
when the device refreshes to verify that the bundle is still installed.

Creating RPM Bundles ” in the . Novell ZENworks

Š
Deploy and Install Immediately (When this Wizard Completes): The Deploy and install
immediately option lets you immediately send a bundle to a managed device.
