Werk #7166: Agent Bakery now supports systemd

Component Agent bakery
Title Agent Bakery now supports systemd
Date May 24, 2019
Checkmk Edition Checkmk Enterprise (CEE)
Checkmk Version 1.6.0b1
Level Trivial Change
Class New Feature
Compatibility Compatible - no manual interaction needed

Until now, it was necessary to have xinetd installed on a host system in order to setup the CheckMK Agent coming from the agent bakery automatically.

The baked .rpm and .deb installation packages will now fall back to install the Agent as a systemd-service, if no xinetd is available on the host.

With this change, the baked agent package equals the vanilla agent package in its installation behavior.
