So, I'm having an issue where my LaunchDaemon is not running the script that I have built that uses jamfHelper.

Here is my plist that I have:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

<plist version="1.0">

<dict>

    <key>Label</key>

    <string>com.MyCompany.UpdateTool</string>

    <key>ProgramArguments</key>

    <array>

        <string>/var/StartupUpdateTool.sh</string>

    </array>

    <key>RunAtLoad</key>

    <true/>

</dict>

</plist>

Now, I'm pretty sure it is running, I've checked the plist with plutil. So I'm not sure what is going on. When I switch it to a LaunchAgent, it works fine, but I want to try and pause the login process so that I can make some changes prior to the user logging in.

Here is the script.

#!/bin/bash

install_dir="/Library/Application Support/JAMF/UpdateTool/"

icon="/System/Library/CoreServices/Software Update.app/Contents/Resources/SoftwareUpdate.icns"





#Check for Network Connection

CheckForNetwork(){



    local test



    if [[ -z "${NETWORKUP:=}" ]]; then

        test=$(ifconfig -a inet 2>/dev/null | sed -n -e '/127.0.0.1/d' -e '/0.0.0.0/d' -e '/inet/p' | wc -l)

        if [[ "${test}" -gt 0 ]]; then

            NETWORKUP="YES"

        else

            NETWORKUP="NO"

        fi

    fi

}
