Hello Jamf Community,
I previously posted this a couple weeks ago but still am struggling to figure out exactly how to get it working.
I am trying to create a script that will prompt a user with a popup box on which application they'd like to uninstall (only apps we deem approved). For example, a popup would come up and ask someone "Select an app you'd like to uninstall" with a list of apps such as, Google Chrome, Firefox, Adobe, etc.
Currently I have script that I feel is about 90% of the way there but still can't figure out how to get it completely working. I'll post it below.
Also, if there's any easier way to do this, please do let me know as well!
Any help is greatly appreciated! There may be some unnecessary lines in the script just FYI. Here's the script:
#!/bin/bash
# Parameters
app1="$4"
app2="$5"
app3="$6"
app4="$7"
app5="$8"
appList="$4
$5
$6
$7
$8"
uninstallApp="choose from list every paragraph of \\"$appList\\" with title \\"Application Uninstaller\\" with prompt \\"Select which application you'd like to uninstall: \\" multiple selections allowed false empty selection allowed false"
chosenApp=$( /usr/bin/osascript -e "$uninstallApp" )
exit

/bin/rm -Rf "/Applications/$6.app"
}
appCheck(){
if [[ $chosenApp == $4 ]]; then
echo "User selected $4"
echo "Initializing Software Uninstaller"
initializeUninstaller1

elif [[ $chosenApp == $5 ]]; then
echo "User selected $5"
echo "Initializing Software Uninstaller"
initializeUninstaller2

elif [[ $chosenApp == $6 ]]; then
echo "User selected $6"

elif [[ $chosenApp != "2745wnfeljf23490" ]]; then
echo "Invalid Entry"
invalidEntry
exit 0
fi
}
appCheck
exit 0 ## Success
exit 1 ## Failure
Its seems to not understans app name with a "." in the name. For example zoom.us
I tried the new script but it throws an error lite this. Any ideas? :)
