Hello,

package installation is done by executing wpkg.js on the client, which
then checks for new packages and installs them. By saying "the client is
running on the target hosts", I assume you mean you have the WPKG
service client installed. This method indeed runs wpkg.js once after
reboot (when the service starts). If you need more frequent execution,
you may either execute wpkg.js or restart the wpkg service by other
means such as the windows task planner.

bye,
Andreas
