Problem's description

It would be nice if the display user interaction dialog is dynamic Example. if i create a package with a a user dialog i do this mainly to inform the user that my package will end some processes (IE Explorer etc.) This isn't necessary if nobdy is logged on. But if i deploy a package with this dialog - the package won't be installed, because the client waits for user interaction. Timeout(in package)value isn't comfortable for this because i don't want to end user applications without his knowlege. Solution

1. the ocs-client should allow to start a script BEFORE the first user dialog. This script query some info (somebody logged in, processes are running - or similar). If this script returns a zero (means nobody is logged in, or no processes are running) NO Dialog will be displayed What i even can do that the "before" script checks if a specific user is logged in - and if that is the case i also do not display a message on the client because that user will be used to install a new pc.

I have programmed this manually with a script, but i can't use the ocs Dialog and must to circumvent the session 0 isolation

the open source software OPSI also uses a BEFORE script to detect environment or installation prerequisites since years
