Just starting my digging into this so thought I would see it there is something here first.

My institution is using Cisco AMP for Endpoints and I need to build something to do the following:

1) Check to see if the AMP for Endpoints Client System Process is running

2) if process is not running, launch the application to start the system process

Figuring a script similar to this might be a good starting point -

process=“AMP for Endpoints Client”
processrunning=$( ps axc | grep "${process}$” )
if [ "$processrunning" != "" ]; then /bin/echo "$process IS running, we do nothing now"
else /bin/echo "$process IS NOT running - run custom trigger here to launch"
fi

Yeah, something like that would work. I'd clean it up a bit, I personally like to keep my stuff on separate lines and indented for readability.

#!/bin/sh

process=“AMP for Endpoints Client”
if [ "$(pgrep "$process")" ]; then
     /bin/echo "$process IS running, we do nothing now"
else
     /bin/echo "$process IS NOT running - run custom trigger here to launch"
     jamf policy -trigger triggername
fi
