Wondering if anyone is actively deploying GeekTool and geeklets to there Macs with Casper and how are you doing it? I have a script that is populating the info I need on the desktop, just not sure how to make it start up with the exported geeklet I have. I know there is some discussion here https://jamfnation.jamfsoftware.com/discussion.html?id=7604 but not exactly the same. Workflow would go something like:




  1. Install GeekTool package

  2. Copy Info script and Geeklet somewhere on the Mac

  3. Start and run GeekTool with the geeklet in step 2.



Not aware of any terminal commands for GeekTool.



Thanks in advance for sharing!

Right - hence the notice in my geeklet that says statuses are updated every 5 minutes. I don't want someone freaking out when they delete a bunch of files only to find out that the red warning indicator is still active.



It also depends on how much magic you're doing. Mine are simple shell commands without much text, so there's virtually no overhead to run them. I've seen some amazing GeekTool stuff online, though, that would surely bury your CPU if you got crazy enough! ;)

So I know this thread is a few months old, but we would like to push this out using FUT and FET as well and the pictures that were used to describe how to set it up in Composer are gone. Could someone that saw those images transcribe what the structure was there please?



Thanks all!

Has anyone successfully deploy it to All Users when they login? This

Hello, has anyone received the license terms for the GeekTool from the developer? If so, someone could send me the license terms or a download link. We also want to distribute the GeekTool, but without license terms we can't do that. Thanks.

@jacob_salmela do you have the script that you displayed above?

That is an amalgam of several different scripts. I do still have most of them or variations on them. DM me or find me on keybase for more details
