simple commands like the following could do the trick.

"defaults write com.apple.dock mcx-expose-disabled -bool TRUE && killall Dock" "defaults delete com.apple.dock mcx-expose-disabled && killall Dock"

maybe like this part of the current script.

Temporarily disable jamf binary check-in (thanks, @mactroll and @cube!)

@remcoverburgh:

I looking at this today, my current understanding is that it's not possible to disable Mission Control in SYM; see Feature Request: Disable Mission Control when using blurscreen #198.

If you can find out how to pull it off, I'd be happy to add it to SYM.

Please advise. Thanks.

@remcoverburgh:

Without additional information about the feasibility of this Feature Request, when 1.10.0 is "official," I'll mark this "Closed as not planned."

Thanks.

@robjschroeder:

Unfortunately, these are the same commands @remcoverburgh initially provided, which, in a single test on physical hardware with macOS 13.3.1, no longer appear to disable Mission Control.
