Unattended eDirectory SLES Script

A colleague and I put this script together to help with our server builds that use cloned DIB sets from an existing tree and require a temporary instance of eDirectory running.

Some of the switches were hard to find so I thought I would share it here. Feel free to use this as a template for your own environments.

The following script will create an eDirectory Tree with an instance under /eDir/$HOSTNAME path.

As the Notes say just include your installer paths in the variables and modify the instance to be relevant for your environment.

#!/bin/bash
#ndsinstall unattended v1.0

#Notes: Use variables at beginning of script to point to your installation source paths

If anyone has information on how to script IDM installation on Linux please comment, we are having problems finding the syntax for the installer.properties file that the -? help switch refers to.
