Hello,
If you need to test the BES agent on a Ubuntu/Debian, I succesfully used the steps below on Ubuntu 9.10.
Download the BES Agent RPM package from http://support.bigfix.com/install/bescl … html#linux
Convert and install the RPM package using
alien -i /home/marc/besagent.rpm -c postinst postrm prerm
Ignore warnings/errors.
3)In /etc/init.d/BESClient-7.2.5.22
3a) comment the line
. /etc/init.d/functions
3b) replace the line
daemon /opt/BESClient/bin/$prog
by
start-stop-daemon --start --exec /opt/BESClient/bin/$prog
4/ Create the following directory
mkdir /var/lock/subsys/
5/ Copy the actionsite.afxm from your BES Server to /etc/opt/BESClient/
The actionsite.afxm is usually found in \BESInstallers\BESClientDeploy\BigFixInstallSource\ClientInstaller
on your BES Server
6/ Start the BES Client
/etc/init.d/BESClient-7.2.5.22 start
7/ Check that the BES Client process is running
ps aux | grep BESClient
Cheers,
Marc

Broken link, it appears it replaced your url with an elipsis in the middle.

I am unclear which BESClient version you used to install on Ubuntu. Can you specify the OS and rpm package.
Never mind. Was missing the C++ 5 package. Used the RedHat x86 Client on Unbutu 10

See the reply to your other post
i have successfully configure my console and all the clients get sync(server is on windows and windows client are successfully sync) with that, when i try to manually install the client on ubuntu 14.10 it shows BESClient service unrecognized.
I’m using tem9.2 version.
Please help me to start that service and get my ubuntu client sync with console
