[Casper] Bash Scripts using ~

[Dorey, Dustin]

Try 

 

 

#!/bin/sh

cd /Users/$3/Desktop/

mkdir testfolder

 

I was just doing a similar test where I created a shell script threw it in casperadmin then executed it as a policy of once per user triggered by login.   My test one was

 

#!/bin/sh

cd /Users/$3/Desktop/

rm Test.rtf

 

 

and that seemed to work fine.   Ultimately I have some files that I need to change permissions to that are residing in our bound users library, but for testing purposes just to get used to the concept that’s what I did.  The other guys on here have done WAY more with this than I have.

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.

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
