Keeping our Apps up to date script from 2021 JNUC Keynote

[stephenutsw]

I have been looking at your "Keeping our Apps up to date" script located on JAMF.com from JNUC2021. However, I can't seem to get it to work as is, and am wondering if there have been changes to it (I don't see a copy in this repo).

Any update would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Stephen

Hi @stephenutsw, can you please provide the script you're trying to work with so that I can review it? Since we're talking about a 2-year-old keynote, something has changed in the meantime with IBM Notifier; so I believe the issue lies there. I'll convert this into a discussion since it's not about a real issue with the tool itself.

Absolutely. Thank you for your response. See below:

## Keeping our Apps up to date
##
## This script will perform an API call against a Jamf Pro instance with the
## machine UUID to determine what policies are in scope. it will look for custom
## policy triggers and then count them for the banner-style notification and 
## present to the user.
## 
## Note that the event trigger pattern in this script is static and should be 
## changed to reflect your environment.

#!/bin/bash
CURRENTUSER=$(ls -l /dev/console | awk '{print $3}')

# Notification binary paths
NA_PATH="/Applications/IBM Notifier.app/Contents/MacOS/IBM Notifier"
NA_VERS="2.1.0"

JSSUSER="$5"
JSSPASSWORD="$6"
JSSURL="$4"
FILEPATH="/Library/Application Support/JAMF/IBMPatch/patch.xml"
BUTTON_1="Cancel"
BUTTON_2="Update"

# This is the category that should launch when you click the button
JSS_CATEGORY="32"

UDID=$(system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | grep UUID | awk '" " { print $NF }')

# run a recon first to get the most up-to-date policy list
jamf recon 2&> /dev/null

# downloads available policies 
request=$(/usr/bin/curl -u $JSSUSER:$JSSPASSWORD --tlsv1.2 -H "Accept: application/xml" "$JSSURL/computermanagement/udid/$UDID/subset/policies" -X GET > "$FILEPATH")
SW_COUNT=$(grep -c "patch_app_updates, Self Service" "${FILEPATH}")

if [[ "$SW_COUNT" -eq 1 ]]; then
    PLURAL=" "
elif [[ "$SW_COUNT" -gt 1 ]]; then
    PLURAL="s "
else
    echo "no patches found, exiting"
    exit 0
fi

# generate the customized text for the notification
HEADING="Software Update${PLURAL}Available"
DESCRIPTION="You have ${SW_COUNT} update${PLURAL}available in the Mac@IBM App Store."

if [[ "$CMD_RESULT" -eq 2 ]]; then
    open "jamfselfservice://content?action=category&id=${JSS_CATEGORY}"
fi

Can you please share also the error that the script return?

[SMartorelli]

In the meantime, we found a typo in the path of the Jamf request. The correct one should be:

"$JSSURL/JSSResource/computermanagement/udid/$UDID/subset/Policies"

The one in the script is missing the JSSResource path component.
