Thanks

+9We just had to do this in our org. Luckily, I already had a script ready which:
Here it is:
#!/bin/bash
# Written by Steve Summers
# ifconfig is searching for a connection to the VPN. If a device
# is connected, the IP variable will contain the IP address. If a device is not
# connected, it does not return anything.
# You'll need to input the first 2 octets of your institutions IP range when a
# device is connected.
IP=$(ifconfig | grep -E '(ip\\.range)' -A 3 -B 1)
# This is a simple test condition, the -z tests for a "ZERO" in the IP variable
# If the customer is on the vpn, IP will not be zero and the script will end
# If the customer is NOT on the vpn, the condition is true, and the script runs
# the removal of the old and installs the new.
if [[ -z $IP ]]; then
echo "VPN Not Connected, uninstalling old and installing new version..."
# this calls the silent uninstaller. we don't use the one in applications
sudo /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/umbrella_uninstall.sh
sleep 20
sudo /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/anyconnect_uninstall.sh
sleep 30
# policy to install the new VPN
sudo jamf policy -id <your Policy ID here>
sleep 180
else
echo "VPN Connected, exiting..."
exit 1
fi
IP=$(ifconfig | grep -E '(ip\\.range)' -A 3 -B 1)
+17I used app_quitter.py that goes based on if the bundle identifier for the app is open and it worked well for me

Wow. That's pretty nice. Is it customizable with a company logo and stuff?

Yes, it is! It is calling Jamf Helper, which is customizable. I just point it to a company logo that I drop locally on the machine
+4thats awesome @ljcacioppo @stex ..thanks a lot for your help .. i will test it in my LAB first before moving it to production.
If i understand correctly i have to deploy appquitter.py script and call the uninstall & Install application with the same script

I just ran the script via a jamf policy. You can use parameters to specify which bundle ID, if you want it to force quit, the policy to the updated version it is calling for the install of, etc. Here's what the parameters looked like for me
Also, Here's the wiki which has some more explanation: https://github.com/t-lark/Auto-Update/wiki/Implementation.
I just modified the verbiage in the script for what it was going to say to users in the prompt boxes
And I didn't even uninstall the old version of AnyConnect. I deployed the new one right over the top
+2I just recently started using the new Title Editor to build my own Patch Management titles. I built one for AnyConnect and used that.
