====== Munki ======

===== Overview ======
Munki is software used for managing software on OS X. It is located at munki.socs.uoguelph.ca.

===== Shell Scripts (NoPKG Installation) =====
Munki is traditionally used to push out packaged software, but can also be used to deploy and run scripts.

Two scripts should be created. The first is the pre-install script. This script needs to determine whether the desired action needs to be taken or not. This script should return 1 if nothing needs to be done, and 0 if something needs to be installed.

The second script is the post-install script. This is the script that actually contains the desired action.

Once the two scripts are written, they can be packaged up with the following script

  makepkginfo --name INSTALL_NAME --nopkg --pkgvers=1.0 --installcheck_script=PREINSTALLSCRIPT --postinstall_script=POSTINSTALLSCRIPT --unattended_install > INSTALLNAME.pkginfo

This file can then be added to the pkgsinfo folder of Munki.

Run makecatalogs to have munki rescan the folder for new packages
