Hey Guys,
no real Question but i saw some similar posts and questions or request for something like "$sbuject_title" ..
I want to share my solution for this scenario and perhaps some of you has an idea to optimize it:
User got new mac and wants to transfer all Static Groups from the old to the new mac.
I provide this script as policy in Self Service:
#!/bin/zsh

else
# Create the folder
mkdir -p "$TMP_DIR"
# Check if the creation was successful
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "The temporary folder has been successfully created at $TMP_DIR."
# Set permissions (optional)
chmod 755 "$TMP_DIR"
