[Casper] Grep(?) or other method for a logged on user.

[DHowell at austinisd.org]

I found this one to work the best for me

username=`/usr/bin/w | grep console | awk '{print $1}'`


than using variable like this /Users/$username/

Are these accounts local or part of a directory? 

This could be easily done a few different ways.   First and foremost I 
suggest anyone who manages Macs to keep their local admin accounts hidden, 
in like /private/var for example.  That way it keeps them out of the 
/Users directory.  Then all of your policies in place for your managed 
users can loop through the /users directory.  Since the admin accounts 
won't be there you won't loop them out at all. 

I kind of just came up with a quick way to do this, probably not that 
efficient and someone who is a better script writer may want to try it. 

#!/bin/bash 

#get current user logged in 

current_user=finger -lp | grep Directory | cut -c 19-40 

#now loop through users 

for i in `ls /Users` 

do 

if [[ $i == $current_user ]] 

then jamf policy -trigger MyPolicy 

else echo "not in /Users" 

fi 

exit 
done 

This was written very quick and you may want to write it a better way. 
That is where I would start though.

Hello,

I was looking for a command that I could use to verify that a user is 
logged onto their machine before a policy is run (as opposed to a machine 
being on, but sitting at the login screen)

I want to make sure that they are logged in so they are sure to get the 
messaging that this policy has run.

I am imagining something like the following:

If any user is logged in (except for our 2 admin accounts whose name I can 
specify)

Execute  jamf policy –trigger “custom trigger”

Else quit.

Does anyone have an idea on the scripting for this?

Thanks very much,
Matt Oclassen
