Dear all-

I'm scriptally challenged...

this has got to be the most basic elementary script, but I haven't
ventured into scripting yet, so if someone could help, I'd appreciate
it!

I'm looking to write a simple post-image script to remove the
/Applications/iMovie (previous version) folder

thanks in advance,

-

    If all you want to do is remove the folder it should be a simple:

    #!/bin/bash

    /bin/rm -r /Applications/iMovie

    You don't even need to write a script. Just create a casper policy with
    the run command option under the advanced tab. Then put in your 1 line
    of code to remove that application. Then set the policy to run after
    image or at first boot.

    I would take that out of your image if possible.

    With the spaces, you'll need:

    rm -r "/Applications/iMovie (previous version)/"

    The quotes will let you out of needing to exception the special characters and spaces. We are still using the previous version, so I won't be running that anytime soon!
