This one grew out of necessity at my old job.  The higher level VPs didn't want to go into each browser settings and clear their cache/cookies/history when asked to do so, so I tried to create a "one stop shop" to work on all installed browsers with a single click.  The goal was to keep their bookmarks, extensions & tabs intact...and it works "for the most part".  If anyone knows critical directories / files that should be kept during a cleanup, by all means, let me know and I can get it put into the code.  Hopefully you find this app useful.

Code is here: https://github.com/ScottEKendall/JAMF-Pro-Scripts/blob/main/ClearBrowserCache.sh

Nice idea!  Looks like the link is broken though:

Keep these coming!  You're doing good work here.

Link should be:
https://github.com/ScottEKendall/JAMF-Pro-Scripts/blob/main/ClearBrowserCache/ClearBrowserCache.sh

yea...I am busy moving everything into files with appropriate READMEs and pictures..for some reason, I cannot change my original post to change the links I posted..

 

This is probably the best link to use: https://github.com/ScottEKendall/JAMF-Pro-Scripts

 

@ScottEKendall Hey Scott, I'm in the process of trying this script out. I'm not very good at scripting. I changed the portion that uses the .png file, but when I run the script via self service i get the error message. Am I missing something. What I changed was below. I just changed the top one to /Users/Shared and the bottom one to /Desktop/our.png. Thanks in advance.

SUPPORT_DIR="/Library/Application Support/GiantEagle"
SD_BANNER_IMAGE="${SUPPORT_DIR}/SupportFiles/GE_SD_BannerImage.png"

yep...this line 

/Users/Shared//logs/

shows that your LOG_DIR variable (line #38) is not correct...Also check line #35...that is the "root" of the support directory
