Refresh Self Service via Files and Processes Payload Execute Command

Great tip! Definitely see uses for this. Thank you.

Just used this, thanks.

Modified it as follows for forcing the user to view the description, adding in an Esc key press before the refresh:

/usr/bin/su - "`/usr/bin/stat -f%Su /dev/console`" -c "/usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "Self Service" to activate' -e 'tell application "System Events" to key code 53' -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke "r" using {command down}'"

I made a silly mistake and spent some time trying to figure it out. For the next person that does the same here is my ah-hah moment which is admittedly a "well ya, duh" kind of thing.

If you opted to rebrand Self Service especially the name of the application not just the icon. You will need to change the "Self Service" in the command to "Whatever you renamed Self Service to"... I had added our school districts initials to Self Service in addition to changing the icon to the school logo to make it as familiar as possible.

Thanks for your racing-stripe, @kfbbt.

Has anyone managed to get this to work on Monterey? I am getting the following error, and unfortunately I can't see how to fix it or what causes it "exactly"..

@Googolplex The following just worked for me in a single test on macOS 12.0.1 (21A559).
