With the AdvanceAgent and Trusted Access functionality in LDMS 8.6, this script is frankly unnecessary in many/most environments. It's left up for historical purposes, but I don't recommend using it.

ldms_client_pusher.pl is a script for use with LANDesk Management Suite. It is intended to automatically push LANDesk clients to newly discovered unmanaged nodes. It is implemented as an ActivePerl script. Do be sure to read the documentation before using it, it is a very young hack at this point and it may destroy everything that you care for, plunder your villages, stomp on your trains, and bat your planes from the air.

General note: Custom job scheduling and monitoring have always been very tricky, and it's even harder in 8.5, so I can't guarantee that the "test job" function will work. It is now optional and off by default.
