This section contains new information for the following manuals of the IBM(R) Tivoli(R) Configuration Manager, Version 4.2.1 library.
The following new information applies to the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager: User's Guide for Software Distribution.
In Chapter 3 "Creating Packages Using the Software Package Editor", in the section "Setting Properties on the Package", in the subsection "Endpoint Options", add the following text after the first sentence of the section: "The before program is not run on the endpoint, if you are installing the software package from a disconnected Command Line Interface".
Use the GUI to open the "Distribution Settings" panel. A new deadline check box is present to enable and disable the deadline overwriting.
At the moment there is no way to force a hard reboot for a machine if the shutdown operation is performed by the resinit. A new key resinit_reboot_forced could be specified in the swdis.ini file on the endpoint machine to decide if the shutdown should be soft/hard. By default it is set to false (soft reboot). The swdis.ini should contain an entry of type: resinit_reboot_forced=yes to force a hard reboot.
