Very nice info! Have you tried it? Trying to get the custom logo to work, but not sure how to make it work.

@fredrik.virding I haven’t used it myself yet but I can try to tuck aside some time this week and see what I can come up with. The Mac Admins Slack may be another good resource for tip or some feedback on how to use it.

Noted! The rest of the features was pretty straight forward. Super slick.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to scripting and this helpdesk script is really great.
On the other hand, I would like the Mac address to be found in addition to the IP address when this command is used.

networkServices=$( /usr/sbin/networksetup -listallnetworkservices | /usr/bin/grep -v asterisk ) while IFS= read aService do activePort=$( /usr/sbin/networksetup -getinfo "$aService" | /usr/bin/grep "IP address" | /usr/bin/grep -v "IPv6" ) if [ "$activePort" != "" ] && [ "$activeServices" != "" ]; then activeServices="$activeServices\\n$aService $activePort" elif [ "$activePort" != "" ] && [ "$activeServices" = "" ]; then activeServices="$aService $activePort" fi done <<< "$networkServices" activeServices=$( echo "$activeServices" | /usr/bin/sed '/^$/d')

After several hours of searching, I can't find the solution so I'm asking you for help.

    I finally found a solution. Here is the modified script :)

    networkServices=$( /usr/sbin/networksetup -listallnetworkservices | /usr/bin/grep -v asterisk ) while IFS= read -r aService do activePort=$( /usr/sbin/networksetup -getinfo "$aService" | /usr/bin/grep "IP address" | /usr/bin/grep -v "IPv6" ) if [ "$activePort" != "" ] && [ "$activeServices" != "" ]; then ipAddress=$(echo "$activePort" | /usr/bin/awk '{print $3}') macAddress=$( /sbin/ifconfig | /usr/bin/grep -B2 "$ipAddress" | /usr/bin/awk '/ether/ {print $2}') activeServices="$activeServices\\n$aService $activePort MAC: $macAddress" elif [ "$activePort" != "" ] && [ "$activeServices" = "" ]; then ipAddress=$(echo "$activePort" | /usr/bin/awk '{print $3}') macAddress=$( /sbin/ifconfig | /usr/bin/grep -B2 "$ipAddress" | /usr/bin/awk '/ether/ {print $2}') activeServices="$aService $activePort MAC: $macAddress" fi done <<< "$networkServices" activeServices=$( echo "$activeServices" | /usr/bin/sed '/^$/d')
