Filewave script exit codes

[Peter Thorn]

I am trying to check if an application (forticlient) is installed via the Requirement script below. I would like to use exit code - 220, as there is no need for the fileset to try again and again if it has failed (as I read it would be if I use exit -1.

However, it doesn't seem to work - it tries to install no matter. I have tried using both "exit - 220" (as I read the description says) and "exit -220".

Am I using it wrong?

Thanks,

Peter

 

#!/bin/bash

# For all script types, returning an exit code of 0 (success) means the

# script execution completed successfully.

#

# Requirements scripts can have the following exit codes that

# influence how the Client will handle the Fileset:

#

# - 210: This exit code will cause the Fileset to be treated like the

# installation was successful (unless another requirements script fails,)

# but the Fileset will not be downloaded nor installed.

#

# - 220: This exit code will prevent the installation and cause the client to

# stop retrying unless a manual action is made (verify, reinstall, etc.)

# or the Fileset is updated.

#

# Returning any other exit code but 0 (e.g. 1 or -1) will be reported as a

# "Requirements Failure: Script" in the Client Info window and Fileset Report.

# This will also prevent the contents of the Fileset from downloading and

# installing. In this case, requirements scripts will be executed every 2

# minutes and the Fileset will be installed when they all return 0.

#

# For other types of scripts, any non-zero exit code (e.g. 1 or -1) will cause the

# Fileset installation to fail and a script failure to be reported.

#

# If the script finishes without returning an exit code, the exit code 0

# (success) is assumed by default.

#

# Add the contents of your script below:


# check if forticlient is installed. If yes, skip and exit to -220 so it doesn't try again

FILPLACERING=/Applications/FortiClient.app

if test -f "$FILPLACERING"; then

# do nothing and exit -220

exit -220

else

# forticlient is not installed so proceed

exit 0

Actually this should not be read as "-220" but as list bullet points.

So 

exit 220

should do it.

Just seeing that https://fwkb.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MAN/pages/4719213/5.11.+Fileset+Scripts could be updated to give more details about requirements scripts and specific exit codes.

Thanks @Pierre-Nicolas for clearing that up.

I will try it out.

 

Cheers,
