So I've been using this script to shut down any machines that were still logged in and in use after the MCX-supplied pmset shutdown time, and I was bonking my head for a few days why my logs were filling up with machines that then weren't shutting down:
#!/bin/sh
# check if a user is logged in, shutdown if current user is blank, do nothing otherwise
currentuser=`ls -l /dev/console | awk '{ print $3 }'`
if [ "$currentuser" = "" ]; then
echo "Shutting down..."
/sbin/shutdown -h now
exit 0
fi
exit 1
...Yeah, that last line "exit 1" was the problem. (Change that to "exit 0" if you use this.)
Curious if anyone else has any good recent DERRP moments. I CAN HAZ COMPUTE!
Always test before you deploy,
