C The ruei-check.sh Script

This appendix provides a detailed explanation of the checks performed by the ruei-check.sh script. It is strongly recommended that you use this script to verify successful installation, and to troubleshoot any installation issues.

When started, the script prompts you to specify which role or roles the system is required to perform. For example:

1 - Reporter + Collector + Database
2 - Reporter + Collector
3 - Reporter + Database
4 - Collector only
5 - Reporter only 
6 - Database only

Please specify which role(s) this system should perform: x

In the above example, the script will check the system to verify that it meets the requirements for both a Reporter and Collector installation with a local database.

The checks performed in the order shown in Table C-1, and are divided into three types: pre-installation, system, and post-installation checks. Whether a specific check is performed depends on the selected role(s).
