Hey all, when a script is used to execute policies.... example....

/blahblah/jamf policy -id ####

/blahblah/jamf policy -id ####

/blahblah/jamf policy -id ####

Does each policy finish 100% before it executes the next?

Also, I see people mentioning the ampersand (&) when referring to executing policies in scripts... how is that utilized please?

Thank you in advance!

    My understanding is that each policy has to finish before the next policy can run. As far as the & in a shell script or just in terminal you can string commands together using a double &&. For example I use the following often in terminal.

    sudo jamf recon && sudo jamf policy && sudo jamf manage

    Basically means:

    Run the first command if it completes successfully run second command and if it completes successfully run third command.

    You could also use a ; if you wanted the second and third command to run regardless of how the previous command finished.
