Hello,

I need the community

I have a script, which create two Network Locations. The script work but finish with a error. I'm not sure why. Some settings the script add in the new network locations but not the important setting. We need to add the Auto URL Proxy Link.

Can everyone tell me why the script crashed and what I need to add the Proxy URL adress?

Here the script and the error what I get.

Script:

Hello,

First, you can change your shebang to "#!/bin/sh -x" to get verbose mode.

This will show you each line executed before each answer :)

Thanks it was a great help! The script works now. But Casper tell me a error but all Seetings correct. Why I get this error "found it! ** Error: Unable to commit changes to network database." Not sure why..

Thanks :)

The "Found it!" message is related to "networksetup switchlocation xxx" when the location is found.

We got here a script to create all locations (same build all over the world/languages) and got "Found it!Found it!Found it!Found it! etc" in logs :D

For the error message "Error: Unable to commit changes to network database." it should be a good thing to link the message to the line in your script related to. Until now, I never faced this error message so I don't really know what it could be.

One question still at the end of your script.
Why switching to the Home_Network location without doing anything to get back to Company_Network location just after ?

I'll probably ended my script like this :

#######
#Create new Location "Home_Network" without any Settings 
#######
networksetup -createlocation "Home_Network" populate
