Installation of RemotEye Client using UNIX
Introduction
RSH is a software daemon which is able to get/set specific command from/into
RemotEye. The major intention of this software is to shutdown the local machine
before the UPS runs out of power. This program is composed by shell scripts, written
in bash, and virtually portable under any UNIX operating system. The program
consists of three phases: the installation phase, the execution phase, and the
configuration phase.
•
The installation phase will help the user setup the program properly by
asking a few questions.
•
The execution phase will keep track of the status of a UPS via RemotEye.
•
The configuration phase will guide user to reconfigure the setting that is
made in installation phase.
Program Overview
When installing this program, the shutdown shell application will check the target
machine’s Operating System (OS) and determine whether it is a predefined OS from
the recognized OS list. If it is not, the user will be prompted to answer some
questions regarding system information (such as cmd name, path, etc). During the
configuration phase, the program will ask user for information regarding the
RemotEye (such as its IP address, name, etc). The reconfiguration phase allows the
user to change the settings for later use. After installation, users can execute the
program immediately or during the next system reboot.
