post install for nrdp agent

[grenley]

Hi.

We need to distribute a couple of extra libraries as part of the nrpd installation.
I can see two approaches.

1) hook into the process that builds the installnrds script and add our stuff to that
2) create a similar process that acts as a post-install procedure.

Does option 1 or 2 seem like the better alternative?

I've pored through a bunch of the php code that is involved in building and shipping the installnsrds script and, while I'm getting warmer, it's still a lot of code to parse.
I'm hoping someone here can make this a little easier for me.

I've been trying to understand how the wget command works for this install:
wget -O linux.tar.gz "http://123.45.67.89/[b]nrdp[/b]/?cmd=nrdsgetclient&token=46703duu3ps2&configname=linux"

There is no nrpd subdirectory under the DocumentRoot /var/www/html. Looking at httpd.conf, I see no alias for nrpd.

I likely will not have access to httpd.conf in production (to create my own alias for my code/data repository) so would like to piggyback on the installnrds process as much as possible.

I hope this question makes sense.

Thanks very much, as always.
Rick

If you are needing to include plugins in NRDS I would suggest you check out this
