create a Windows CMD option: install_bigfix.bat

[jgstew]

needs improvement: https://github.com/jgstew/tools/blob/master/bash/install_bigfix.sh Reference: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17510688/single-script-to-run-in-both-windows-batch-and-linux-bash

This is completely crazy, but it might actually be possible to allow for install_bigfix.sh to run as a windows .bat file as well, without requiring BASH on windows through something like CygWin.

Steps

1. Download http://software.bigfix.com/download/bes/95/BigFix-BES-Client-9.5.1.9.exe
2. Download http://$1:52311/masthead/masthead.afxm
3. Create clientsettings.cfg
4. Install Silently

Might be possible to add this as a single line or a few lines at the top of the file. Linebreaks will be an issue.

:<<"::CMDLITERAL"
@ECHO OFF
ECHO
ECHO I am %COMSPEC%
ECHO put CMD/BAT lines in here.
ECHO
PAUSE
EXIT
::CMDLITERAL

have bitsadmin ignore invalid SSL:

• https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753211(v=ws.11).aspx

11110 is the bitset to make bitsadmin ignore all SSL errors (very permissive) 1000 is the bitset to make bitsadmin ignore only SSL signing errors

These bitsets should be applied as their decimal equivalent.

WSF file type is interesting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Script_File

VBS wrapped into BAT wrapped into BASH? seems like asking too much:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9074476/is-it-possible-to-embed-and-execute-vbscript-within-a-batch-file-without-using-a

Seems like it would make more sense to try to make the VBS file from within the BAT file, then run it.

powershell might be the best option:

powershell -command "& { (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('http://example.com/', 'c:\somefile') }"
