RunSAVLiveUpdate

[ImAMacGuy]

We are trying to get the Symantec live update script running from the
resource kit. When we run the script through 'unix commands' through ARD it
runs normally. But when we push the script through Casper it bombs out
with...
Preparing Management... Executing Policy 2010-05-10 at 12:01 PM | jwojda | 1 Computer... Mounting afp://srshofmacdply01.kih.kmart.com/CasperShare to
/Volumes/CasperShare 1... Running Script zzrunSAVLiveUpdate.sh... Script Exit Code:126 Script Result: sh: /private/tmp/zzrunSAVLiveUpdate.sh: /bin/sh if: bad interpreter: No such file or directory Unmounting file server... Enforcing Management Framework... The Management Framework will be enforced as soon as all Policies are done
executing.

We set the script to Executable, but it won't work on the test boxes. We
also can't run it locally through sudo either.

Script as follows...

#!/bin/sh
if [ -f "/Applications/Symantec
Solutions/LiveUpdate.app/Contents/MacOS/LiveUpdate" ]; then echo "Running LiveUpdate..." /Applications/Symantec
Solutions/LiveUpdate.app/Contents/MacOS/LiveUpdate -update LUal
-liveupdatequiet YES -liveupdateautoquit YES
else echo "Error: Symantec LiveUpdate was not found on this machine." exit 1
Fi

An error 126 indicates permissions problems. But, I see you mounting locally as "/Volumes/CasperShare 1" Do you have something else already mounting the CasperShare as a different user? I run into this when I try and run something locally on my machine and (stupidly) have a volume on the same server mounted as a user that doesn't have access into the CasperShare.

Throwing this out as an alternative:

I just take this part:

/Applications/Symantec Solutions/LiveUpdate.app/Contents/MacOS/LiveUpdate -update LUal -liveupdatequiet YES -liveupdateautoquit YES

and put it into a scheduled task in the JSS, applying it to all my
workstations. It's simpler and works fine.

This avoids maintaining a script, avoids permission issues, etc.

Is there any way to suppress the icon from launching in the dock when using this scheduled task?

Thanks Allen

Hi Patrick!

Whether you're calling the SAV command using a shell script or as a task in
Casper, the time to update will be the same. It's the same command either
way, just invoked differently.

Does that give you what you're needing to know?

I ran it and it doesn't seem to run the update, I waited for an hour and ran it manually so I know the script didn't run it.

These are my settings under Management tab --> Scheduled Tasks in the JSS:

Once you set the task, you'll need to make sure your machines are receiving
the new task. They should receive it the next time they login/logout/startup
when "Enforce Management Framework" is execute, however, you can run the
JAMF command line on each machine to update them immediately:

sudo jamf checkForTasks

Hope this helps!
