Exclude files from Master Server of Linux Clients of One Policy?
- 9 years ago
No, exclusions are not 'established' via a master server setting.
Exclusions are a 'client' configuration item/property.
However, you can use a master to 'push' (bpsetconfig) exclusion lists to clients - i.e. you should not have to logon to each client to edit its exclusion list/file.
You can then 'pull/copy/view' (bpgetconfig) the exclusion list from a client to check it/them.
.
Tip: The methods for 'managing' exclusions are different between Windows and Unix/Linux clients.
For Windows clients it is easiest to use the GUI. But you can use CLI too, i.e. bpgetconfig/bpsetconfig.
For Unix cliets, there is no GUI option, you must use bpgetconfig/bpsetconfig.
The syntax AND method for using bpgetconfig and bpsetconfig - for managing exclusions - is different between Windows and Unix.

To exclude ALL files with a .evolution extension put

In the exclude list

1) Create a file of exclusions on the master, named: my-exclusions.txt
2) Send/push the list to a client using: bpsetconfig -h myclient -e my-exclusions.txt
3) Do not do this: bpgetconfig -h anotherclient -e my-exclusions.txt
...because this will overwrite the file "my-exclusions.txt" with the exclusions from "anotherclient", which may itself be empty
4) Did you not have time to download and read the manual sections for these two commands?
