Steps

MaaS360 adds support for a new dynamic action for enrolled macOS devices, allowing the administrators to remotely push shell scripts to macOS devices for execution right from the device view. 

Note: 

• The shell scripts are not executed if the device is offline. 
• The shell script execution is only supported on MaaS360 for macOS agent version 2.35.100.003.

Users can locate the executed shell script and its output file in the following path:

/Library/Application\ Support/MaaS360/scriptTmp

Executing shell script

To execute a shell script,

1. In the MaaS360 portal, navigate to Devices > Inventory and select a device.

2. Click More > Execute Shell Script.

Result: The Execute Shell Script window is displayed.

3. Provide the following details:

• Name: Provide a name that describes the function of shell script.
• Number of days to expire: Specify the shell script expiration days between 1-90. If the device is online, the shell script is executed right away, else the script is scheduled for execution when the device comes back online until expiration.

Note: The shell script is not executed if the devices come online after the expiry date.

4. Select the shell script and click Submit.

Result: The shell script is successfully executed on the device. The execution status can be tracked in Device History.
