Install script for agent to run without /opt/observium

Hey Guys,
Would it be possible to add the option do an agent only install to the install script? One that doesn't need /opt/observium and installs all the nice /usr/bin/distro etc utils :)
The current script bails on :
cp: cannot stat '/opt/observium/scripts/observium_agent_xinetd': No such file or directory
Thanks !

I was working on the installscript and did put that in the TODO - however, without /opt/observium there's currently nowhere to get the required files onto the target machine... :-)
But it's a somewhat known issue. To solve it we'd likely have to put the files up somewhere on the web and fetch them from there.
People with 3 or more machines should install this through configuration management tooling anyway ;-)

Configuration management - what is this black magic you speak of !!!!
:D
Thanks for that - I keep an eye out for that
Cheers !

Hey Tom,
I had a look at the current script and what do you think of making this a remote deploy script - from the Observium machine. You then have access to all the files and the add_device.php script will work. The current script seems to be way more geared towards a local install. I am happy to contrib this change if you are happy to cast an eye over it ?
I'm thinking something like adding an option 5 - remote agent install ?
