Policy to delete a folder in the Applications Folder

[jaymckay]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a policy that will remove a folder that was originally deployed to a number of computers via policy. The name of the folder is "Logger Pro 3". I've tried to create a policy with the command line "find /Applications -name "Logger Pro 3" -maxdepth 1 -delete" with no luck.

I'm sure it's pretty straight forward, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Jay

Since you know where it is, you don't need to find it. Maybe this:

if [ -d "/Applications/Logger Pro 3" ]; then rm -R "/Applications/Logger Pro 3"; fi

Can't recall if you need to escape those spaces in the path, sorry.

You could make it even simpler, assuming you know that that's the path to the application.

rm -Rfd "/Applications/Logger Pro 3" 2> /dev/null

If its not there it will do nothing. If it is there, it will delete it.
