Group:
I use a modified version of Bombich's logout script to manage home folders on my lab machines. Lately I have noticed that user folders are not being archived at logout. In other words, the script does not appear to be executing under certain circumstances (which I cannot replicate).
Here is my script:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
uid="$USER"
home="/Users/$uid"
time=`date ''+%m-%d-%y_%H.%M.%S''`
if [ "$uid" = "infores" ]; then
rm -f /Library/Classic/Classic.dmg.shadow
exit 0
else
echo "Refreshing home directory."
rm -f /Classic.dmg.shadow
mkdir -m 755 "/private/tmp/$uid.$time"
mv $home "/private/tmp/$uid.$time"
fi
rm -f /Library/Classic/Classic.dmg.shadow
exit 0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"infores" is a local admin account, so I don't want to remove it.
The file is owned by root, group is wheel, permissions are rwx-r-x-r-x. It lives in /private/var/root/Scripts. Loginwindow.plist is modified accordingly.
Again, this works properly in almost all cases. However, it sometimes inexplicably refuses to run!
Any advice appreciated!
