Help with a post-install custom trigger

L
Forum|alt.badge.img+5

I’m trying to get a post-install script to run from a custom trigger. This seems like it should be fairly straight forward so I assume I’m overlooking something quite basic? And yes, I am a noob in terms of scripting so please go easy on me. Or not! I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...

Following a suggested imaging Workflow on Macmule I’ve created postflight.sh like this:

#!/bin/bash

jamf policy -event postflightconfig

Which has then been set to run at reboot as part of this imaging config:

With the policy itself set to trigger at a custom event defined as postflightconfig, like this:

Except nothing happens?

If I make postflight.sh executable I can run it manually and the policy is successfully triggered so I know the trigger and policy are OK. I just can’t get it to run at reboot after imaging?

JSS is 9.81

Thanks in advance...

    It all looks correct to me.

    The problem sounds like the Casper imaging process isn't triggering the script.

    I would take a look at the casper imaging log for a device you've tested it on, and/or look in the /var/log/jamf.log file on the client to see if there are any clues.

    I'm not sure the environment variables in your setup. You might want to use the full path to the JAMF binary 

    /usr/local/jamf/bin/jamf policy -event postflightconfig

    Any difference between /usr/local/jamf/bin/jamf
    and
    /usr/local/bin/jamf
    ?

    /usr/local/bin/jamf is a symlink (alias) that points to /usr/local/jamf/bin/jamf. The former is likely safer in long term scripts. The latter is the real binary.

    Log shows the policy being triggered but it's unable to connect to the JSS? Looking at the sequence the custom event runs before any of the JAMF items. Do I need to alter the sequence so that it runs after default JAMF management stuff has been applied? If so how do I do that exactly?
