Running checklists

When you run the Deploy and Run Security Checklist, the Master Run script runme.sh runs all the check scripts. When you run the Deploy and Run Security Checklist task, the Master Run script runs the individual check scripts located on the UNIX system.

You can modify the this behavior using the –F option to schedule specific checks. Use -G to run global checks. The Master Run script also creates a file named /var/opt/BESClient/SCM/mytmp/results/master.results which contains the overall results of running the various OS-specific scripts.
