Question

Call a script after Configuration profile has ran


Forum|alt.badge.img+3

Is there a way to call a script after a configuration profile has ran? I need to delete an old mobileconfig that was installed before JSS was installed, but only after the new profile is in place.

Thanks.

You could create an extension attribute to see if the config is installed, then create a smart group from that and remove the old one. It may not be instantaneous, but it is an option.

Another option is to just have a script that runs periodically and queries the profiles and deletes the old if the new one exists.
I wrote a script to find old WiFi profiles, might be helpful for ides. I changes WIFI_PROFILE_NAME in the awk statement form pur organisation specfic name.

#!/bin/bash

#Global Variable
STALE_DATE="2015-01-19"
STALE_DATE=$(echo $STALE_DATE | sed 's/[^0-9]*//g')
WIFI_PROFILES=$(Profiles -Lv | awk '/attribute: name:/ && / WIFI_PROFILE_NAME/,/attribute: profileIdentifier:/' | awk '/attribute: profileIdentifier:/ {print $4}')
for WIFI_PROFILE in $WIFI_PROFILES
do
echo Profile: $WIFI_PROFILE
WIFI_DATE=$(Profiles -Lv | sort -r | awk '/attribute: profileIdentifier: '$WIFI_PROFILE'/,/attribute: installationDate:/' | awk '/attribute: installationDate:/ {print $4}')
echo Install: $WIFI_DATE
WIFI_DATE=$(echo $WIFI_DATE | sed 's/[^0-9]*//g')
if [ $WIFI_DATE -lt $STALE_DATE ]
then
echo The profile "$WIFI_PROFILE" is STALE
echo Attempting to remove stale profile
profiles -R -p "$WIFI_PROFILE"
else
echo The profile "$WIFI_PROFILE" is CURRENT
fi
done
exit 0

Just a code sample not a solution to your actual problem of course :) but a launchAgent/Daemon that looked for both profiles, deleted the one you wanted then disabled itself might work.
