Issue Running Script

What are you grepping after the pipe in the first command, and why?

It looks ok to me, so I would add a bit more output to the script using echo and $?:

#!/bin/sh
users=`find /Users -type d -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 ! -name Shared ! -name admin ! -name guest | grep "$a"`
echo $users # display the contents of the variable for verification

for i in $users; do
        if [ -d "$i/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Media Cache Files/" ]; then
               rm -rf $i/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Media Cache Files/*
               echo $?
        fi
done

exit 0

The other alternative is to use the files and processes part of a Casper policy:

rm -rf /Users/$3/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Media Cache Files/*

Thanks for the quick reply, I had echo'd out the variable but I'm not sure where to view that when running from either Self-Service or Remote?

On a side note with the Casper Policy option you also suggested, where would '$3' be populated?

I have the same question as @alexjdale What is the grep "$a" supposed to be grabbing? I don't see a reference in your script to a variable labeled as "a" so I don't see how that's actually doing anything.

If it's run in self service you can see the output of the echo commands in the policy log on the JSS.

$3 would be if the policy ran at login so not so useful in this case.

@drew.diver I think you just need to drop

"| grep $a"

From your find command. The line should look like this:

users=`find /Users -type d -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 ! -name Shared ! -name admin ! -name guest`

Hope that helps!

That did it, I wasn't sure on the "| grep $a" either. I constructed this command from another area in the JAMF forum the other day. He also didn't have any other reference to "$a" but it was pulling what I needed so I left it.

Thanks for the input!
