@yuenhongtang If you want True when sshd is enabled, and False when not this will do it:
#!/bin/sh
# EA to check status for com.openssh.sshd
# Returns True if enabled
# False if disabled
sshdStatus=$(/bin/launchctl print-disabled system | /usr/bin/grep sshd | /usr/bin/grep enabled)
if [ -n "$sshdStatus" ]; then
result="True"
else
result="False"
fi
echo "<result>$result</false>"

Hi, I tried but result false or true. it returned True.
+6Thanks sdagley. I changed abit and it works now.
sshdStatus=$(/bin/launchctl print-disabled system | /usr/bin/grep sshd)
if [[ ${sshdStatus} == *"true"* ]];then
echo "YES, system is true"
result="True"
else
echo "No"
result="False"
fi
echo "<result>$result</result>"

@yuenhongtang Apologies, there was a typo in my original post. Please try the EA script now.

@yuenhongtang You don't want to have extraneous echo command in an EA. The script in my original post has been corrected, and now returns False when appropriate.
+24Wouldn't running /usr/sbin/systemsetup -getremotelogin | /usr/bin/awk '{print $NF}' get the same results and possibly be easier? Not that there's any real problem with using launchctl print-disabled system. Just sort of thinking out loud.
