talkingmoose / Kill Running Apps.bash

Created June 27, 2019 16:07

Useful for killing all running applications that may prevent a restart for an upgrade. Killing apps does not allow for saving work. Use only as a last resort.

	#!/bin/bash

	# there's probably a better way to use lsappinfo to get the list of apps, but it's not well documented
	appsList=$( /usr/bin/lsappinfo list \| /usr/bin/grep -B 4 Foreground \| /usr/bin/awk -F '\\) "\|" ASN' 'NF > 1 { print $2 }' )

	# kill each app by name except Finder
	while IFS= read anApp
	do
	if [ "$anApp" != "Finder" ]; then
	/usr/bin/pkill "$anApp"

talkingmoose / Set Computer PreStage Scope.bash

Last active July 18, 2024 13:00

As of Jamf Pro 10.14, the Jamf Pro API (/uapi) allows access to create and update scopes for computer PreStage Enrollments. Edit the information at the top and include a list of computer serial numbers for the COMPLETE scope. (The script replaces the scope list; it doesn't update.) Be sure to leave the opening and closing parentheses.

	#!/bin/bash

	# server connection information
	URL="https://talkingmoose.jamfcloud.com"
	username="API-Editor"
	password="P@55w0rd"

	# provide the Jamf Pro ID of the PreStage Enrollment; look in the URL when viewing the PreStage Enrollment
	prestageID="1"

talkingmoose / Manage App Notifications.bash

Last active January 25, 2024 15:26

macOS Catalina will prompt users to allow Notifications from each app that makes a request. Administrators can manage these prompts using a Configuration Profile. If running Jamf Pro 10.19 or later, I suggest instead using this manifest: https://github.com/talkingmoose/jamf-manifests/blob/master/macOS%20Notifications%20(com.apple.notificationset…

talkingmoose / MegaPKGr.zsh

Last active June 26, 2023 05:37

The pkgbuild binary and Jamf Composer don't support adding single files of 8 GB or more to a package. Some apps like Install macOS Big Sur.app include files larger than 8 GB in their bundles. This script will create a deployable PKG file from apps whose bundles include those large files.
