[wpkg-users] Extend package definition for one host only

[Frank Morawietz]

Hi there,

I'm pondering about a very special configuration and would welcome your 
input / experiences.

I have a nice package definition, that is working fine for all my 
different Windows versions. (Updates the Adobe Flashplayer to be 
concrete, but that doesn't matter here.)

Now I got the conception to extend the update with one more task for 
only one of the computers. That is, all computers will execute the 
update as they already do. But the very special computer does the update 
and after completion of the update, it - and only this one - should 
execute an additional command.

I believe that I can use the check type host like this
<check type="host" condition="hostname" value="NAMEOFCOMPUTER" />
to isolate the special computer.

But what does this mean to the other ones? If I just add this line to 
the package definition followed by an install cmd, wouldn't this 
restrict the whole update to only work on the single computer with the 
specified name?
Further, how can I influence the order of the commands? The additional 
task can only be executed after the update commands.

I am puzzled, how to add this to the existing package definition...
Or would it be better to create another package definition only for the 
additional task and chain load it after the update? But then again, how 
can I restrict that only one node chains the additional package...?

Thanks in advance for your ideas!
Frank
