I think you will find that bpstart_notify does not have to be executable.  Create a special bpstart_notify.sumit, push it out with bpgp, make a sumit class and run it. Waych magic happen.

Yes, I know of the bpmount command. I mentioned it in my original post.



I have considered putting the bpmount command in a bpstart_notify script and then using bpgp to receive a copy of the output.

The challenge to that is deploying this to the vast number of clients.

I could use bpgp to copy the script to the client but I would still have to make it executable to run and I do not know how to do that through nbu.





Currently, I am analyzing the packet sent by the master to the client when issuing the bpcoverage command.

It instructs bpcd to run a remote bpmount -i and bpcd passes back the information so it looks like bpmount is the key.



Does anyone know how to programmatically pass commands directly to bpcd daemon?

I have tried cleartext commands in telnet but the connection closes.
