Postinstall script for Jamf Composer to install DEPNotify with supporting scripts and a LaunchDaemon
#!/bin/zsh
## postinstall
pathToScript=$0
pathToPackage=$1
targetLocation=$2
targetVolume=$3
# This postinstall script for Composer creates the following
# A LaunchDaemon that starts a separate script to run a Jamf Pro policy command
# A script to wait for Jamf Pro enrollment to complete
# - then triggers a Jamf Pro policy that triggers DEPNotify
# A script that is designed to be called by a Jamf Pro policy
# - to unload the LaunchDaemon then remove the LaunchDaemon and script
#
# Q: Why not just call the `jamf policy -event` command
# from the PreStage Enrollment package postinstall script?
# A: Because the PreStage Enrollment package is installed
# before the jamf binary is installed.
#
# Q: Why not just have the postinstall script wait until jamf enrollment is complete?
# A: Because the postinstall script won't exit while it waits, which prevents enrollment
#
# Q: Why not just include the DEPNotify.sh script in the PreStage Enrollment package?
# A: Because every time you update it, for instance POLICY_ARRAY,
# you'd need to re-build and re-upload the package
#
# Q: Why not distribute the extra scripts and LaunchDaemons somewhere else,
# instead of embedding them in this funky postinstall script?
# A: This way you only have to download and maintain one extra thing.
#
# One approach is to use the following locations and files:
# LaunchDaemon:
# /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.arekdreyer.DEPNotify-prestarter.plist
#
# Temporary folder for the installer and scripts:
# /usr/local/depnotify-with-installers/
#
# Scripts:
# /usr/local/depnotify-with-installers/com.arekdreyer.DEPNotify-prestarter-installer.zsh
# /usr/local/depnotify-with-installers/com.arekdreyer.DEPNotify-prestarter-uninstaller.zsh
# This script must be run as root or via Jamf Pro.
# The resulting Script and LaunchDaemon will be run as root.
# Update this when the DEPNotify installer package is updated; earlier name was DEPNotifyInstallerName=DEPNotify-1.1.4.pkg
DEPNotifyInstallerName=DEPNotify.pkg
#
# You can change this if you have a better location to use.
# I haven't tested this with any path that has a space in the name.
TempUtilitiesPath=/usr/local/depnotify-with-installers
#
# You can change any of these:
InstallerBaseString=com.arekdreyer.DEPNotify-prestarter
InstallerScriptName=${InstallerBaseString}-installer.zsh
InstallerScriptPath=${TempUtilitiesPath}/${InstallerScriptName}
UnInstallerScriptName=${InstallerBaseString}-uninstaller.zsh
UnInstallerScriptPath=${TempUtilitiesPath}/${UnInstallerScriptName}
# Best to use /Library/LaunchDaemons for the LaunchDaemon
LaunchDaemonName=${InstallerBaseString}.plist
LaunchDaemonPath="/Library/LaunchDaemons"/${LaunchDaemonName}
DEPNOTIFYSTARTER_TRIGGER=start-depnotify
# Install the package
/usr/sbin/installer -pkg ${TempUtilitiesPath}/${DEPNotifyInstallerName} -target $3
# The following will create a script that triggers the DEPNotify script to start. Be sure the contents are between the two "ENDOFINSTALLERSCRIPT" lines.
# NOTE: Make sure to leave a full return at the end of the Script content before the last "ENDOFINSTALLERSCRIPT" line.
