Munki Conditions

[Martin West]

Has anyone had any experience with Conditions?
I have a piece of software that needs "Managed Install" properties

When i reload MSC - it repeatedly tells me to install it. even though its installed.

I was looking at Conditions to stop this behaviour.

something along the lines of
$(defaults read /Applications/SOFTWARE/Contents/Info.plist ProprtyString) != "1234567"

is this the right way to do this?

I am quite lost here

I think I'd be inclined to use an installcheck_script rather than a condition.

But maybe you should be generating an installs section for your pkginfo file

There's probably better/newer documentation on this stuff but this below is the first thing that came up.

Thanks so much

My Colleague made and install check script - but I am not sure it is working as we expected

I will revisit it 

Again Thanks for the advice

Take a look at:
https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/How-Munki-Decides-What-Needs-To-Be-Installed

and

https://github.com/munki/munki/wiki/FAQ#q-munki-successfully-installed-some-software-but-now-each-time-munki-runs-it-wants-to-install-the-software-again-why-is-this

In most cases, there's something you can do in the pkginfo to fix this. Writing an installcheck_script is usually a last resort and is typically not necessary for most macOS native software.
