Hi Everyone,
I wrote this as proof of concept for a few people in the past of a way of end user interaction. It is bash script that calls Applescript to display a yes or no GUI box and then does something based on what the user clicks on. Obviously, everything here is a place holder. You could change it up to run custom trigger policies, or call the JAMF binary to display messages. Tons of different application here.
code example:
#!/bin/bash
# proof of concept AppleScript interaction to end user in bash
theAnswer=$(/usr/bin/osascript <<AppleScript
tell application "Finder"
activate
display dialog "Do you want to know the meaning of the universe?" buttons {"No","Yes"} default button 2
if the button returned of the result is "No" then
set theAnswer to No
end if
end tell
AppleScript)
/bin/echo "${theAnswer}"
if [[ ${theAnswer} == "no" ]]
then /bin/echo "They obviously have read the Hitcherhiker's Guide and know it is 42"
else /bin/echo "The Answer is 42"
fi
exit 0
If you run this, it will echo out a response in terminal, just as a proof of concept of it running a command under the hood.
Please use at your own risk and make sure you test this a ton before putting it into production.
Thanks,
Tom
