Bash: UT-Citrix


I developed the Ubuntu version Citrix thin client. To follow the same naming convention as TC-Citrix, I name it UT-Citrix.

Here are the key scripts:

checkip

#!/bin/bash

#wait for the DHCP ready
while ! ifconfig eth0 | grep ‘inet addr’ >/dev/null 2>&1
do
echo
sleep 2
done

sysprep

#!/bin/bash
#rename the computer
echo
HOSTNAME=UT-`ifconfig | grep ‘eth0’ | tr -s ‘ ‘ | cut -d ‘ ‘ -f5 | sed ‘s/://g’`
rm -f /etc/hostname
echo $HOSTNAME > /etc/hostname
hostname -F /etc/hostname
rm -f /etc/hosts
echo “127.0.0.1 localhost” > /etc/hosts
echo “127.0.0.1 $HOSTNAME” >> /etc/hosts

#generate new SSH key
rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*
dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server

sleep 3

launch_ica

#!/bin/bash

#check hostname if not running from CD-ROM
HOSTNAME=UT-`ifconfig | grep ‘eth0’ | tr -s ‘ ‘ | cut -d ‘ ‘ -f5 | sed ‘s/://g’`

if [ -d /rofs ]; then
echo “running from live CD”
sudo hostname $HOSTNAME
elif [ $PC != $HOSTNAME ]; then
sudo /usr/local/sw/sysprep | zenity –progress –pulsate –text=”Computer needs to be renamed at the first time, reboot shortly…” –auto-close –no-cancel
sudo reboot
else
echo “The PC name is correct.”
fi

  1. Can you give more details on how to create this Ubuntu based thin client? Also, can you include how to make it a PXE bootable package?

    1. Hi Douglas, I have wrote comments for each section. So just spend some time to understand what the script does, and you may need to modify some of them to fit your environment.
