Problem with updating Browsers

Do you guys know what I can improve or have any alternatives to this method?

What about the built-in patch management feature in Jamf?

Might consider altering the script so instead of killing the app, it exits if the app is launched when the policy runs.

We usually add a BEFORE script to do check:

#!/bin/bash
#
# Exit if app is running; else proceed. 20200224 DM

APPLICATION="/Applications/OmniGraffle.app"
if [ -e "$APPLICATION" ]
then
    echo "$APPLICATION exists."
    PROCESS=$(ps aux | grep -v grep | grep -ci "OmniGraffle")
    if [[ "$PROCESS" == "0" ]]
    then
        echo "$APPLICATION is not running, proceeding with removal."
    else
        echo "$APPLICATION is running, exiting."
        exit 1
    fi
else
    echo "$APPLICATION does not exist, exiting."
    exit 1
fi

exit 0

Have a Smart Computer Group for targeting computers that need the update, and have the policy run daily. :)

This way user is not disruptive, and deployment saturation is not bonked by any failures.

@donmontalvo thanks for your reply!

This would mean that the user needs to have APPLICATION closed so the policy installs the update for APPLICATION. Correct me if I'm wrong but that would mean that users who do not close e.g. Chrome for a week, will not get Chrome Updates for a week. This is something I want to prevent - that's why I'm quitting the apps via the posted script.
