Hi,
Can any one provide the script for screensaver to start about 5 min and require password back(10.6,7 and 8)
I also require script to redirect all 10.6 client to SUS.
Thanks,
Anil

This may help with the screensaver: http://macmule.com/2010/11/18/how-to-set-osxs-screen-saver-via-script/
You can set the SUS server many ways, are you using MCX?

'unfortunately Snow leopard doesn't support MCX'
Don't tell that to my snow leopard machines, they are supporting MCX quite happily, as were my leopard machines before that. :)

@kumar MCX goes back 10 or more years, at least back to Mac OS X 10.2 days.
..JSS told us...
JSS is a server, when it talks to me it usually means its time for a vacation. :)
I think you meant JAMF. I also wonder if they meant Configuration Profiles?

I was just going to post the same thing.
Configuration Profiles only work in 10.7+ while MCX has worked for quite a while and continue to work.

Hi Donmontalvo/Msblake,
Yes it is Configuration profile and screensaver is working in snow leopard with managed preferences but require password is not working.
The script I got is not working and show the error message as syntax error near unexpected token newline ('<!DOCTYPE html>'
Thanks,
Anil

That means the script file wasn't saved in the proper format. The JSS thinks its an html file, not a shell script file. Open the script in a plain text editor. Textedit will do as long as you make sure it is open as a plain text file, then re-save it making sure the .sh extension is being appended to it (if its a bash/shell script)
