Hello Christian, Thank you for your example of code for WTSSendMessage. I actually wanted to write an opensource implementation of MSG.EXE, but as smartmontools can now directly send a message to the console, there is no need to anymore... Btw, is there a way to personalize the console message ? The implementation that i wrote in my setup includes different languages for this. I more or less finished my installer for smartmontools, opensource, based on inno setup, and up to date (v6.01). I think this could be a nicer implementation than the NSIS installer for windows. Where should i post my work for review ? Thank you. Ozy de Jong. |

Hello Christian, I can understand why you want everything kept on Linux, i'm a Linux guy too, and even if i'm also Microsoft certified, i do enjoy Linux especially CentOS which i use to run my private server and site. I'm also writing docs for CentOS and Zarafa solutions, and share my opensource (and windows) knowledge on my site. But well, my customers aren't all linux fans. And i basically wrote this installer to quickly install smart monitoring as mass deployment solution. I did only add a GUI as i thought it would be nice for end users. I'm not used to cross compiling, and well, i appreciate being able to immediatly test my installer on a windows environnment (tested from XP up to Win8). My last mail wasn't of purpose to ask you to replace your installer with mine and am actually really happy you'll link to my derived work. I've setup a new page on my site for my project, source code is also online (see bottom of page). You can find my work here: http://www.badministrateur.com/node/134 I have subscribed to the smartmontools-announce mailing list and will update my installer package with your upstream releases. Cheers, Ozy de Jong from badministrateur.com |

There is no need for this because you can run an external script instead. To better support this on Windows, I will provide wtssendmsg as a separate tool in some future release. > > I more or less finished my installer for smartmontools, opensource, > based on inno setup, and up to date (v6.01). > > I think this could be a nicer implementation than the NSIS installer > for windows. > For the short term, I will not move from NSIS to Inno Setup for the upstream Windows installer due to its inability to cross-compile on Linux. (The smartmontools Windows package is built & signed without any actual Windows involved to ease discussion when the next false positive virus report arrives :-) > Where should i post my work for review ? > Please provide source & exe for public download somewhere. I will add a "News" item to smartmontools homepage then. Thanks, Christian |
