It is a script that you can audit if you don't pipe it straight away into bash (with sudo!).

I don't know Sealion and they can be amazing and all, so don't get this comment wrong.

If they want to support Linux systems properly, instead of using a script like that, I would recommend them to use packages and add support per distribution. Each distribution has different tools to add and manage services, and there are different ways to boot the system services. It's not just adding symlinks anymore because upstart and systemd, etc.

Also I'd love to cleanly upgrade/uninstall/etc their agent, so add a repo and I'll install your agent with more confidence.

How do I know I don't like how they install their agent? Because I didn't pipe the script directly into bash.
