Enabling and Disabling SSH in Munki Update
Posted on 1 min
I previously posted a munki nopkg script to enable SSH using /usr/sbin/systemsetup This stopped working on newer versions of macOS at some point and I implemented a new method, but never posted it. The new method simply loads the launch daemon to enable SSH. The install_check script <key>installcheck_script</key> <string>#!/bin/bash #check to see if ssh is off (/bin/launchctl list | grep ssh) if [[ $? = 1 ]] then # exit 0 to tell Munki an install is needed exit 0 fi # if not needed, exit 1 exit 1</string> The postinstall_script :Stupid SSH Tricks

I’m writing down these SSH configuration tweaks because I tend to change them infrequently enough that I forget them :-) Configuring SSH keys Sometimes it might be useful to use seperate SSH keys for seperate purposes. For example, one for work and one for peprsonal. On macOS this can be accomplished using ~/.ssh/config For each host that you want to use a specific key for, you can create an entry like this :Logic Pro Rename

With the 11.1 update, Logic Pro has changed the app bundle from Logic Pro X.app to Logic Pro.app But wait! Didn’t this change happen a few updates back? Yes and no… The file sustem name was Logic Pro X.app but it displayed in Finder as Logic Pro.app If installing Logic Pro from the App Store, none of this is important as it is all seemless to the user. If like me you are managing this on managed endpoints, the path changing is important.Getting Version Info for MATLAB

It can be challenging to get accurate version information for MATLAB on macOS. The installer is not a package, so no package receipts to rely on. The next place we might logically look for version info is in the app bundle itself. <key>CFBundleVersion</key> <string>24.2.0</string> Well that at least looks promising… This is an example from an installation of MATLAB 2024b. The 24.x indicates 2024 and the x.2 indicates b version. The problem with this is that the full version of that app is 24.
