N1 Grid Service Provisioning System User's Guide and Release Notes for the OS Provisioning Plug-In 1.0

Module Coding

The module developer should try to select a standard scripting language that will be available during the JumpStart installation. For example, the use of a 'bash' is not possible, as the NFS boot image the target server uses does not contain that shell.

Where possible, the Bourne Shell should be used as this is know to exist on all versions of Solaris. Only as a last resort should a compiled language be considered.
