+3I'm trying to get a smart computer group running to check for Java/java version. I can't seem to get it working. I use the script below in an Extension Attribute and have the group set for "is not" Java 8 Update 131 build 11
Any ideas?
#!/bin/sh
version=`defaults read /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/JavaAppletPlugin.plugin/Contents/Info CFBundleShortVersionString`
echo "$version"Best answer by Chuey
When viewing the computer record and looking at your Java Version Extension Attribute, is it reporting the "Java 8 Update 131 build 11"?
I just noticed you don't have:
echo "<result>$version</result>"From my understanding <result> tags are necessary for it populate the EA.

+3i removed the result tags for testing, I'll put them back in and then see what i get in the Inventory field, which i didn't know was there :). Thanks
+12And perhaps use CFBundleVersion instead of CFBundleShortVersionString which will give you 1.8.131.11 instead of Java 8 Update 131 build 11.
+3There we go, your pointing me to the EA tab in inventory greatly sped up me resolving the issue. for future reference the script below did it (all along i had single quotes around the <result> tags, that was the issue). Smart Computer Groups criteria using the EA operator is not value Java 8 Update 131 build 11
