I am relatively new to BigFix … we are creating a text file on all platforms in the BES client directory. In order to output the contents of the file, I created an analysis with the following code. I tried it on 2 Aix and 1 windows system. It works fine for the windows but not for AIX, comes back with … Looks like the parent folder works for windows but not unix … can you advise on how to fix the issue?

What steps do I need to take for Linux??

Basically, I want to create 1 analysis for all OS types… is that possible?

if (exists file “Info.txt” of parent folder of regapp “besclient.exe” ) then (lines of file “Info.txt” of parent folder of regapp “besclient.exe”) else (“Info.txt not present”)

Thanks

For starters, the “regapp” inspector is Windows-specific.

You might want to break down the analysis by broad computer type first:

if (name of operating system starts with “Win”) then <…> else

if (name of operating system starts with “AIX”) then <…> else

etc.
