The Initium RJS Screensaver: Part 4, Automatic Deployment

The Intium RJS System makes use of screensavers to perform CPU scavenging for grid computing. This article shows how to automate the installation of the IRJS screensaver. The manual installation of the IRJS screensaver, presented in parts 1 and 2 of this series, has been automated to ease installation. A Java Web Start application has been created to complete the installation of the screensaver for Windows and Unix/Linux platform. This application performs an operating system identification and proceeds to download, install, and configure the screensaver files. The installation of the screensaver is a function of the OS, due to differences in screensavers support. Our three previous papers showed how to create screensavers in Java for Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems.
