Enabling a Task Notification Script
When a task completes, Remote Desktop can run a script that you create. This script is
for all completed tasks, and it must be a shell script. There is a default notification script
provided, which you can customize for your needs. The script must be a shell script, but
you can use various other scripting environments like AppleScripts with the
osascript
command.
To enable a task notification script:
1
Make sure you are logged in as an administrator user.
2
Open Remote Desktop.
3
Choose Remote Desktop > Preferences.
4
Click the Tasks button.
5
Select “Enable task notification script.”
6
Choose the location of the script.
The default notification script is located at /Library/Application Support/Apple/Remote
Desktop/Notify.
7
Close the Preferences window.
