Run Script as Logged in User - Collect Application Logs - Vectorworks

Try using this as the variable for logged in user

currentUser=$(ls -l /dev/console | awk '{ print $3 }')

Then you can call that variable back in your path

/Users/$currentUser/Library/Application Support/Vectorworks/2019/VW User Log.txt

@r... I tried that but no luck, still not working.

My Syntax:
## Get User Name.
currentUser=$(ls -l /dev/console | awk '{ print $3 }')

# Specify the log files being requested.
jamfLog="/var/log/jamf.log"
installLog="/var/log/install.log"
systemLog="/var/log/system.log"
vwUserLog="/Users/$currentUser/Library/Application Support/Vectorworks/2019/VW User Log.txt"

## Compress the log files we're uploading and name it with a timestamp.
/usr/bin/zip -r $logArchive $jamfLog $installLog $systemLog $vwUserLog

Might post entire script, don't see $logArchive (the zip archive being created) path being defined.

EDIT: Never mind I see you posted the GitHub URL to the script.

@mcgace Are you getting any of those logs back when running this policy from self service?

@r... yes I get a zip file with the three log files (install.log, jamf.log system.log) but not the one I'm trying to get for Vectorworks

@r... Thanks that worked. I now get an output like the one below.

What does double quotes around the variable mean?

@mcgace

The variable you were calling has spaces in the file name, the double quotes allow the variable to be called back with those spaces intact. I also included the -j switch so it would junk the directories and just keep the log files

Happy to read you're up and running
