v.1.0.0 March 6, 2016 Alex Narvey / Precursor.ca
Here is a set of utilities that take advantage of Munki’s On Demand nopkg script delivery capability which can be run over and over since they do not actually “Install”.
No warrantee is offered. Neither express nor implied. Use at your own risk.
To use them:
-
Copy the plist files from the pkgsinfo folder into: munki_repo/pkgsinfo
-
Copy the icons from the icon folder into: munki_repo/icons
-
Run the make catalog command: usr/local/munki/makecatalog
-
Add the Packages to the “Optional Install” property of the desired Manifest. I used Munki Admin for this.
-
Save the changes in Munki Admin and then update the client to see your new Utilities in a “SelfService” category.
— The Utilities

PS-dns_flush_cache Flushes the DNS cache on 10.10.4 and higher. 10.10.4 or higher It could work for 10.9.5 too but I did not build in the logic to discern the OS and provide the relevant alternative for 10.0.0 -> 10.0.3. (Maybe in version 2.0)
PS-hello_world A harmless test for proof of concept. It throes up a dismissible dialog box box. 10.9.5 or higher
PS-iOS_screen_share It prompts the user to plug in their iOS device and then launches QuickTime and starts a Movie Recording to share the screen with a remote support session. It does not seem possible at this time to use command line to choose the iPhone/iPad camera - the user must do this manually. (I’ve tried over 20 formulations with no success so if anyone knows how please share!) 10.10.5 or higher
PS-launch_services Resets launch services to help with problems in window display and open with performance. 10.9.5 or higher.
PS-mail_optimizer Vacuums the Mail app database to make it more efficient. 10.9.5 or higher.
PS-mail_rebuilder Deletes the Mail app Envelope and causes Mail to resync with the server and pull down all the messages again. Can take a long time depending on amount of mail and internet speed. 10.9.5 or higher.
PS-spotlight_rebuilder Deletes the Spotlight index (for both internal and external disks). Performance WILL be impacted during the rebuild. 10.9.5 or higher.
PS-user_font_cache Deletes the active users font cache. 10.9.5 or higher.
