I created a script that permit to **control opsi package** installation **through command line** (I don't like that much GUI and Java of "opsi config editor").\\
The script permits too to **handle host group** and **product group**, a thing that "opsi config editor" does not manage well I think.

The script is on github: wget https://raw.github.com/souch/opsi-misc/master/opsi-pkg and will be update/debug while I'll use it.

**The script always ask before modifying something** on OPSI (except when using --yes switches). And it warn and propose default action if something seems strange/not useful. So anyone can test it without too much risks :-)

Output of the usage helper:
