Thanks for this info! I'll have to try this out on my windows+linux dell servers. Any more advice you guys can give on getting the bbscript files to run under BS would be awesome! (I'm a noob...) Is the BBSCRIPT type worthless in bigsister? Can anyone provide insight on what values to use for temp file, input/output files, or any other parameters that the bbscripts need to function? David, otherwise how has big sister compared to big brother so far? We were thinking of going the big brother route initially, but I decided to give bigsister a test run first. >>>I was able to get the openmanage script to work using a different >>>method.
