I've researched these forums and tried to adjust a script to my needs but still getting an error when running it.

Main Goal: To get a savable list of 32-bit applications to the users desktop.

CURRENT SCRIPT:

!/bin/bash

sudo system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType | grep -B 6 -A 2 "(Intel): No" > /Users/$USER/Downloads/32BitApps.txt

I've tried setting $USER as a custom variable as well, same result. (syntax was username = $USER)

Any information would be appreciated. I'm somewhat new to shell scripting so if possible, so please take that into consideration.

Try this... Also JAMF runs as root so the sudo shouldn't be needed. 

!/bin/bash

loggedInUser=$(ls -l /dev/console | awk '{ print $3 }')

system_profiler SPApplicationsDataType | grep -B 6 -A 2 "(Intel): No" > /Users/$loggedInUser/Desktop/32BitApps.txt
