In the script, the /usr/bin/connectd_task_notify script is used to report various interesting bits of info about your systems. /usr/bin/connectd_task_notify is installed when you install the remoteit or connectd packages. The variables TOOL_DIR and NOTIFIER are used for this purpose.
TOOL_DIR="/usr/bin"
NOTIFIER="connectd_task_notify"
For example, the OS Name is reported in Status column A. paramter 1 = a.
# Update status column A (StatusA) in remote.it portalThe call shown below to the $NOTIFIER script with parameter1 = 1 is used to indicate successful execution of the script. this script does not have any failure exit codes, but those could be added depending on what you are doing.

# retrieve the os ID as reported by the command “cat /etc/os-release”
os=$(cat /etc/os-release | grep -w ID | awk -F "=" '{print $2 }')
# send to status column a in remot3.it portal
ret=$(${TOOL_DIR}/$NOTIFIER a $1 $2 $os)
#---- You MUST use the final line:
ret=$(${TOOL_DIR}/$NOTIFIER 1 $1 $2 "Job complete")
