Powershell version if you want to test from a windows computer.

If no variables are set in the script, you will be asked for the information.

Interactive version to choose if you want to search scripts, extension attributes or both.

This script is designed to search for a string in all the scripts and or extension attributes in your Jamf Pro instance. It will use the Jamf Pro Classic API to get the list of scripts and iterate through all of them to find the string you’re looking for. The result will show the number of scripts or extension attributes (or both if you use the combined script) containing the string but also for each script the lines and the URL and ID of the element in Jamf Pro.

The scripts only take 1 argument and will ignore anything else.

If you want to search for a string containing spaces (like a command and options, for example dscl .), please use double quotes in the argument (see below for examples in the Usage section).

It is recommended to have a specific account that can only read your scripts.

Before using the script, there are 3 variables to modify to suit your needs:

• serverURL to give the URL of your Jamf Pro server, for example, if you’re hosted in Jamfcloud that would be something like https://foo.jamfcloud.com. If you have a specific URL and a specific port, make sure to add it here too.
• userName to give the name of the account used to authenticate and access the scripts. As mentioned previously, it is recommended to have a dedicated account for that as the credentials will be in the script in plain text (even if mostly that script will be executed from an admin computer)
• userPasswd to give the password of the account

You can also execute the script and if you didn't fill the variables, it will ask for the relevant informations (URL, username and password).

Tip You can leave any of the variables empty, for example userPasswd, the script will ask you interactively for the missing information at execution. If a variable is filled, the information is used directly and you're not asked for it during execution.

Don’t forget to make the script executable on macOS on unix: chmod u+x /path/to/searchScriptsInJamf.sh

Warning The shell script will not work if you try to launch it using sh /path/to/searchScriptsInJamf.sh Either make it executable or use bash /path/to/searchScriptsInJamf.sh

Simply execute the script with one parameter being the string you’re looking for. If you don’t have a parameter, the script will ask you for one and if you don't enter anything it will search for the occurrences of python:
