[Casper] Bash Scripts using ~

[dhowell at austinisd.org]

SO just even trying a simple script like this it doesn't work

#!/bin/bash


mkdir  ~/Desktop/testfolder




SO I tried what Ryan said and used $3 variable

mkdir /Users/$3/Desktop/testfolder

still couldn't get it to work???????

I am putting it in Self Service so I can test it. What I am doing is 
trying to kill logged in users MCX settings and refresh. the script works 
if ran by terminal.

RE: [Casper] Bash Scripts using ~






Can you give examples of what you’re trying to do?
 
Are you running them from policy?   They are then executing as root not 
the current user I believe.
 
I’m working on some of the same stuff as well currently.

I can't get any of my login hooks to work in Casper self service. I do 
have other scripts that work 

It seems anytime I use the ~ for logged in user it doesn't work. 


Is this treated differently in Casper. I run it in terminal it works fine. 
I am sure It is me doing something wrong
