ManageEngine Asset Scan sh script help or web hook

This is the default .sh script for ManageEngine Asset Scan. I modified the variables

main $*

but it fails to run. Any ideas or could a webhook do this?

I have a support case on this same script. Haven't made much progress on it though. It doesn't like the CDATA in the script it seems.

It might be a bit outdated but I've solved this issue by installing outset and dumping the default.sh script in /usr/local/outset/boot-every and login-every folder.

Does the trick for me.

I just had to deploy this for a customer. In my years I've deployed hundreds of scripts with Jamf, and this is one of the few I've encountered that can't be deployed via Jamf's default Script methods.

The way this vendor architected their script is incompatible with Jamf's default method for running scripts. Specifically, I believe their combined use of $1 and $2 within an echo in the constructXML function is incompatible with Jamf's script running method.

I make it a point to not modify vendor's scripts, so our solution was to simply create a package in Composer that installs the script as-is into the /Library folder. Then Jamf runs the script via an "Execute Command" line added to the default Inventory Update Policy (changed to run once a day). This way both Jamf and Manage Engine are updated at the same time every day.

Can you elaborate on this more? I am currently trying to get SDP to scan our Macs but not having much luck.
