There’s been some delay in getting this out the door, but hopefully the wait is worth it since we have a whole batch of improvements (nearly all of which come from John Schubert). So, what’s new in version 4.4 for OCS Inventory:
- Support for 10.5
- Fixed bug where not having Serial ATA or IDE drives caused the script to die
- Better support for printers
- Hostname can now be set using the hostname or the scutil tool. hostname is the default, but scutil uses the results from the dhcp server which can be better. Which tool is used can be set via the new GETNAME parameter in the ocsinv.conf file
- Two new command line options: -n to force a hostname and -g to force either scutil or hostname to be used
- Support for multiple video cards
- Better detection of whether or not the script is being run by root
- More intelligent way of waiting for the network card to come up before running.
