[Casper] Writing to jamf log from scripts

[Nick Amundsen]

Dan,

The results of any scripts that are run at imaging time are already logged centrally on the JSS after the machine completes the imaging process and can be found within the JSS web interface at Logs > Autorun Logs.  Logs for scripts that are run through Casper Remote and Policies can also be found within the "Logs" tab.

I hope this is the information you are looking for!

Regards,

I can see that being difficult (not to mention probably undesirable), I was
thinking that something like the following would be really handy when trying
to troubleshoot scripts that run whilst imaging

$ jamf log --jsslog [error | comment as string]

Any ideas peeps, what do you all do?
