Script Needed: Desktop Wallpaper Path

posted to wrong thread.

?? Please explain...

Er, sorry. I meant that I posted to the wrong thread. Since there is no way to delete a post here on JAMF Nation, the only thing I could do was edit my post to the text I wrote above. Sorry for the confusion.

When I get a moment, I will see what I can come up with in a defaults command or possible using PlistBuddy to get you what you're looking for.

#!/bin/sh
# Setting desktop
rm /Users/$~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist

/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add Background:default:ImageFilePath string /Library/Desktop Pictures/mydesktop.jpg" /Users/$~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist

An example, change the location, name and user variables you should be good to go

~/Library might work
but /Users/~/ is not going to do anything useful.
what is $velo
might be more wise to use plistbuddy delete to remove what you want to replace.

if this is running as a launch agent, might want to use $HOME

$velo is the username variable I use. I edited my post very badly
