Environment
- App Control Linux Agent: All Supported Versions
- Linux OS: All Supported Versions
Symptoms
Symptoms include:
- When trying to upgrade the Linux App Control agent using the relevant .bsx file, the -n switch to disable the b9Notifier from being installed, is not being honored
- Upgrade fails on a file dependency for the b9Notifier
- Using the -n switch is not working
Cause
The -n switch is not compatible with the .bsx file during upgrade
Resolution
The upgrade .bsx file can be modified via the steps below:
- Open the .bsx file you are going to use to upgrade the Linux agent in a text editor (nano, vi, vim, etc.)
- In the file, look for a line that says "sh ./b9install.sh ${UninstallScriptOptions} -x "$TMPDIR"
- The -n switch is ONLY compatible with the b9install.sh script, so the above line will need to be modified like:
- "sh ./b9install.sh ${UninstallScriptOptions} -n -x "$TMPDIR" (minus quote marks)
- Run the .bsx file again and the b9notifier will be skipped for install
