I regularly use the WSAB -poll command for Windows workstations, having scripted it into our RMM software so I can force agents to poll the Webroot console when I have made policy changes, or when I've found an update is available.

 

Is there a similar Terminal command for Mac agents?  I'd like to be able to work with the Mac agent the same way, pushing out a poll command to them when an agent is not updating.
Greetigns @,

 

I've checked with our Business Team and they've told me that this is the command you're looking for:

FORCE POLL:sudo /usr/local/bin/WSDaemon -poll

 

Feel free to reach out to them directly if you need any further assistance regarding this.

Question:

Will this cause any type of user interaction, like a request for admin rights? I would love to script this in Continuum, but I have little experience scripting things for MAC's. We have clients that do not want any popups when they are working on their devices.

 

 
@, no it is not going to create any user prompts.

I hope this helps!
