jamfhelper returning "" instead of value.

[ctangora]

This happened on a 10.7.5 client running binary v8.6.1.

The jamfhelper dialog box came up (utility window) but the response came back as "" rather than a number. Has anyone else had a similar problem with jamfhelper displaying a window and not returning a value?

Thanks.

There are a few threads here about needing to use the -startlaunchd flag at the end of a jamfHelper command. lisacherie was the one who first pointed it out I believe.
One of the symptoms of not using that flag is a window may dismiss without user intervention, but I'd imagine it may also return a null value.

I've had issues getting jamfHelper windows to even appear in some cases without using that flag, so I've gotten into the habit of throwing it into anything where I call a jamfHelper window, just for good measure.
I'm not clear on exactly why this is needed now, but I suspect some of Lion/Mountain Lion's sandboxing gets in the way of these things.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot and let post back any results.
