In order to make it easier to modify configuration files, RemoteInstall provides an option to import files in CSV format. If you would prefer to modify the information in the configuration files in a spreadsheet program (such as the one in OpenOffice), follow the procedure below.

Procedure

  1. Import the file RemoteInstall.csv to a spreadsheet program and edit the file. Save the file under another name.
  2. Copy the new file to your ServerProtect remote.install.splx directory.
  3. When you run RemoteInstall, use the -p option followed by the name of the revised CSV file, for example:
    ./RemoteInstall -p my_conf_file.csv
    RemoteInstall converts your CSV file into RemoteInstall.conf format, using the following naming pattern: RemoteInstall_yyyy-mm-dd_hhmmss.conf
