Send mobile device command to mobile device smart group

Hello!

I need to send the update inventory command to my iPads to be able to check when they run out of battery.
Gladly i succeeded writing the test script to send it to one device, but i im looking for a way to send it to a whole group instead of doing it device per device.
This is the beautiful script.

#!/bin/bash

deviceID="59"

# This works for single commands

data="<mobile_device_command><general><command>UpdateInventory</command></general><mobile_devices><mobile_device><id>59</id></mobile_device></mobile_devices></mobile_device_command>"


curl -fsku "${usr}:${pass}" -H "Content-Type: text/xml" "${jssdomain}/JSSResource/mobiledevicecommands/command" -d $data -X POST

Do you have any idea of how would it work for mobile devices smart groups?

Regards!

I'll bump this since I actually have the same question.

To send this to multiple devices, you would just add additional instances of the mobile device ID to the existing XML array. For example:

<mobile_device_command>
    <general>
        <command>UpdateInventory</command>
    </general>
    <mobile_devices>
        <mobile_device>
            <id>59</id>
        </mobile_device>
        <mobile_device>
            <id>60</id>
        </mobile_device>
    </mobile_devices>
</mobile_device_command>
