Linux Scripts

You can execute sophisticated scripts on Linux devices in one of the following languages:

These scripts are sent to devices using the same method as described in Sending Scripts to Devices. Simply create a custom script and copy your script text into the script field.

A Send Script window with Create New Script highlighted.

Important: To specify the script language, enter a shebang as the first line of the script. If you don't specify a language, SOTI MobiControl defaults to BASH Shell

Tip: To execute script command sequentially rather than in parallel, separate commands with a semi-colon ;.

BASH Shell

A BASH Shell script example.

#!/bin/sh or #!/bin/bash
a=20
b=10

if [ $a -gt $b ]
then
   echo "a is equal to b"
   mkdir /Users/a1/Desktop/script/shell1
else
   echo "a is not equal to b"
  mkdir /Users/a1/Desktop/script/shell
fi

JavaScript

A JavaScript script example

#!/usr/bin/nodejs or #!/usr/bin/node
var myPwl = 1500;
var yourPwl = 1000;

if( myPwl > yourPwl)
{
    console.log("My power level is greater than your power level");
var fs = require('fs');
fs.mkdirSync('/Users/a1/Desktop/akash');

}
else
{
	var fs = require('fs');
fs.mkdirSync('/Users/a1/Desktop/akash1');
    console.log("My power level is less than or equal to your power level");

}

Perl

A Perl script example.

#!/usr/bin/perl
$name = "Ali";
$age = 70;
if ($age >60)

{ mkdir "/Users/a1/Desktop/akashperl", 0755; print "60 plus"; }
else

{ mkdir "/Users/a1/Desktop/akash11", 0755; print "below 60"; }

Python

A Python script example.

#!/usr/bin/python
import os

# define the name of the directory to be created
path = "/Users/a1/Desktop/akash"

try:
    os.mkdir(path)
except OSError:
    print ("Creation of the directory %s failed" % path)
else:
    print ("Successfully created the directory %s " % path)
