Remember, in the ks, you can specify group-installs, and dependancies should be resolved, so the number of packages in the ks will typically tend to be low. Instead, look for specific marker packages to be installed, such as kernel, or your standard userspace, or service-specific packages (apache, if it is a web-server; dovecot, if it is a mail/groupware server; local application package, etc) and send a syslog message/snmp trap/MQ message when you see one of these markers. -DTK Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile -----Original Message----- From: Chun Tat David Chu <beyonddc.storage@xxxxxxxxx> Sender: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 3 May 2011 17:34:43 To: <kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Reply-To: Discussion list about Kickstart <kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Monitoring kickstart install status _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
