Feature request: ability to have a custom-named bootstrap.json #53

Closed flammable closed 5 years ago

flammable commented 5 years ago

Hey Erik -

Would it be possible to support bootstrap files that aren't named bootstrap.json? I'm looking to introduce multiple bootstrap pkgs in my environment, but as they'd share scripts/pkgs, I'd like to have multiple bootstrap.json files in the root directory of my IAs file share.

At the moment, I see the name bootstrap.json is hardcoded in installapplications.py (line 432) and generatejson.py (line 230). Even if I change /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.erikng.installapplications.plist to point to bootstrap_foo.json, it looks like I'll need to hardcode the new name in the other two scripts.

No worries if it's not something you'd like to support - just figured I'd ask before making those changes myself.

Thanks!

Mike

the URL can be anything you want it to be in your launch agent, it's just bootstrap.json is hard coded as the saved path on the client device.

We have about six different jsons on our webserver, all on the same root location.
