When the postinstall.sh runs it fails every time and loops. Below are the error messages we receive:

Driving us crazy because our machines are not binding or running most of the post install tasks anymore.

Hi,



The jamf binary moved in one of the recent versions to be compatible with SIP. It's now in /usr/local/bin/jamf.



What version of JSS and client OSes are you seeing this on?

What version is your JSS and what version of Mac OS is this happening on? That's the older path for the jamf binary. When El Capitan support was included in 9.8.1, I believe, the jamf binary was moved per System Integrity Protection. The binary gets moved to /usr/local/bin/jamf.

@croninm You can add a little bit to your code to check fro the jamf binary position:



# check for jamf binary

/bin/echo "Checking for JAMF binary"

/bin/date





 if [[ "$jamf_binary" == "" ]] && [[ -e "/usr/sbin/jamf" ]] && [[ ! -e "/usr/local/bin/jamf" ]]; then

    jamf_binary="/usr/sbin/jamf"

 elif [[ "$jamf_binary" == "" ]] && [[ ! -e "/usr/sbin/jamf" ]] && [[ -e "/usr/local/bin/jamf" ]]; then

    jamf_binary="/usr/local/bin/jamf"

 elif [[ "$jamf_binary" == "" ]] && [[ -e "/usr/sbin/jamf" ]] && [[ -e "/usr/local/bin/jamf" ]]; then

    jamf_binary="/usr/local/bin/jamf"

 fi

We are running 9.82. I knew it was something stupid like this I just couldn't find the root. Thanks. Testing it out now. We were seeing it on 10.10 and 10.11.

Thanks guys. Totally worked. We are up and running.
