I have a basic script, that I'm looking to turn in a clickable button for our technicians that will remove preferences and items stored on a loaner device without reimaging each time.
A few items I'm not able to completely remove or clean up are:
• closing all windows at logout
• turning off open all windows from last session
• removing the ~/Library/Safari (I can manually do this in terminal, but not from the script)
example: rm -Rf /Users/$USER/Library/Safari/* (does not work in script)
maybe instead, figure out a way to enforce/enable Private Browsing Safari each time, would resolve that.
Here is the gritty script, all the items in here work, just can't figure out the above items
#!/bin/sh
# Remove Keychain items
rm -Rf /Users/$USER/Library/Keychains/*

rm -Rf /Users/$USER/Library/SafariSafeBrowsing/*
