while not across the board, i have certain EAs that sometimes how up as blank.
I have verified the script works
I have ensured the <result> tag is there
I have checked the time on the script and it doesnt seems terrible, but thats part of the reason of the post as I dont have a clear guideline on if time to run matters on an EA, and if so, whats a time to be under
Sometimes it auto updates with recon in the back, sometimes running a manual recon fixes/breaks it
Usually grepping versions is okay, but i have a handful that, when i actually run recon, it will show the result as an EA.
thats not sometime dependable as even with 2 forced recons in a day, ive almost never seen my EA status report accurately for this one EA script.
so the script literally looks for any file with a specific file extension in "~"
it then counts the line, then i convert it to show the actual numerical value, sed'ing all the extra crap away
its a one liner
the time for the script is
real 0m1.357s
user 0m0.288s
sys 0m0.810s
the result should be 2
ea shows 0
(see first screenshot)
then i run a sudo jamf recon on my machine and get the actual real number, 2
(see 2nd screenshot)
inevitably, tomorrow the result will be blank :(
the inconsistency is driving me nuts, and any reporting required for that value is now inconsistent too
