Is there a unix command to detect what version of KBOX agent is running?
Trying to determine what version is running so I can do an if/then statement in a bash script.

On a Mac, it would be something like: ps aux | grep AMPAgent
Edit: Ok, try this from your home directory:
/Library/Application\ Support/Dell/KACE/bin/AMPAgent -v |grep version
Or numerals only:
/Library/Application\ Support/Dell/KACE/bin/AMPAgent -v |grep version|awk '{print $6}'

That pulls the process id and everything. Is there a way to pull the version from it? It shows its location which I could use. 5.3 stores KBOX in one location, 5.1 in another. I could just say if its here, do this, if its there, do that. - thefishyfew 11 years ago

Could you use something like:
If Exist '5.3FolderName' Then
'RunCommand'
Else...."
Or whatever the Unix equivalent would be. - Ben M 11 years ago -

That kinda did the trick. Here's the dilemma. Your solution works for 5.3 only. Version 5.1 has a different path: /Library/KBOXAgent/Home/bin/SMMPAgent. I will probably need to do an if statement and two variables to get it to work unless there's some common process that's running that I can grep the version from? - thefishyfew 11 years ago

I'd just update the agents to 5.3 so they are all the same. If you have uploaded the 5.3 agent to the KBOX, you can do the following:
Settings>K1000 Agent>Agent Updates from KACE>
Click Edit Mode and check the box for Enabled. - jknox 11 years ago

I'm probably asking a little too much from the bash scripting in detecting the different agents and then running a script based on the version. But I did find a way to detect the version:
# First see if the file exists
if [ -e "/Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/data/version" ]; then
#Then get the version from the file
agent1=$(head -n 1 "/Library/Application Support/Dell/KACE/data/version")
echo $agent1
# else do this and see if agent is ver 5.1
elif [ -e "/Library/KBOXAgent/Home/version" ]; then
agent2=$(head -n 1 "/Library/KBOXAgent/Home/version")
echo $agent2

IF you are talking about Redhat agent then try
------------
rpm -qa | grep amp

are you talking the client running on a machine or the kbox server's base OS?

Based on his earlier question I would say he is talking about the machine client. - Ben M 11 years ago

she, but yes, machine client. sorry about not clarifying. - thefishyfew 11 years ago

Ah, my apologies. In the IT world I tend to assume that... Probably a bad habit. - Ben M 11 years ago
