I know this is probably silly, but I'm pulling my hair out over it....

I can run RemoteUpdateManager through Casper Remote and on my devices, but whenever I deploy it through policy or in Self Service it shows this error.

"sudo: RemoteUpdateManager: command not found"

Anyone have any ideas what could cause this? I know the target has an Adobe product installed and can run RUM from terminal.

Thanks in advance.

What does the script say? I'm assuming it just says 'RemoteUpdateManager' rather than the full path to RUM?

I would do the full path (and do).


I find that in scripts, it's best to have the whole path as well.


Here's the script I'm using:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/RemoteUpdateManager $4 --action=$5
exit 0

Then just pass the arguments over, that way I can re-use the script for multiple policies depending on need.


Can you confirm that RemoteUpdateManager is in the /usr/local/bin/ folder?

This is my policy:

You also don't need sudo if you're running it from Self Service.

Hope this helps!


The full path did it. So dumb! Thanks all. I knew it was a slight oversight.


I wrote a script that ceates a logfile, open it with console, start RUM so the end user can see RUM is doing something (or not).

# Get current user
