Hi all,
What would be the line/commands to delete all network locations except for two (one named "Ethernet" and one named "Wi-Fi"). I want to delete any other network locations users may have except for two that i've create on their machines.
Thanks for your help forum!!!
Solved! Go to Solution.

#!/bin/sh
defaultIFS=$IFS
IFS=$'
'
for i in $(networksetup -listlocations | grep -v -e "Location 1" -e "Location2")
do
echo "Removing location $i"
networksetup -deletelocation "$i"
done
IFS=$defaultIFS
quick & dirty, so test, test, test ;)

networksetup help
look for listallnetworkservices then loop on the result. and delete what you don't want.

I don't want to edit the "networkservices", but want to delete actual "networklocations"

I've done that.. i know how to delete locations but don't know how to write an IF statement. I guess that what i need help with. I know the basic networksetup -deletelocation "locationname" and how to use it.
I just need help writing a command/statement that says if the network location name isn't (Wi-Fi or Ethernet) then delete it...
Sorry for the confusion...
