#run_jamf(command, args = nil, verbose = false) ⇒ String

Note:

Most jamf commands require superuser/root privileges.

Run an arbitrary jamf binary command.

The details of the Process::Status for the jamf binary process can be captured from $CHILD_STATUS immediately after calling. (See Process::Status)

Examples:

These two are equivalent:

  Jamf::Client.run_jamf "recon", "-assetTag 12345 -department 'IT Support'"

  Jamf::Client.run_jamf :recon, ['-assetTag', '12345', '-department', 'IT Support'"]

Parameters:

  • command (String, Symbol) —

    the jamf binary command to run The command is the single jamf command that comes after the/usr/bin/jamf.

  • args (String, Array) (defaults to: nil) —

    the arguments passed to the jamf command. This is to be passed to Kernel.‘ (backtick), after being combined with the jamf binary and the jamf command

  • verbose (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    Should the stdout & stderr of the jamf binary be sent to the current stdout in realtime, as well as returned as a string?
