Current NHR LIclean.hook

So, after a few years of using NHR I've had to add a few more exceptions. Instead of writing them down I thought I'd might as well just paste the LIclean.hook file here:



#!/bin/sh
#set -xv; exec 1>>/tmp/out 2>&1
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin export PATH

#Update on June 27, 2006 - added support for 10.3 clients and other improvements
#Update on July 10, 2006 - added feature so that all local users will bypass redirection.
#Update on October 18, 2006 - added $1 directory in /tmp for better folder structure.
#Update on July 13, 2007 - added Leopard compatibility
#Update on July 19, 2007 - added line to delete Clip Gallery Preferences, if they have not already been removed from the local admin's account.
#Update on April 28, 2008 - took out iHook application, as some users didn't like seeing the iHook window during login.
#Update on August 20, 2008 - due to ACL's put on user home folders starting with 10.5.4, this will now remove the ACL so that redirection can still take place on the folders with Deny Delete ACL's.
#Update on September 3, 2008 - added Office 2008 support
#Update on September 17, 2008 - deleted EOF commands, as it was causing issues with some PPC machines.
#Update on October 5, 2008 - added support for SMART board software, as they store caches in ~/Library/Application Support
#Update on March 5, 2009 - fixed issue with finding local users that matched part of the username (added -x to grep)
#Update on March 11, 2009 - added support for Adobe Acrobat 9
#Update on April 17, 2009 - added support for Adobe CS4
#Update on August 17, 2009 - added support for iMovie 09 with network homes
#Update on September 23, 2009 - added support for users with "." in their shortnames (thanks to Ben Gollmer for this addition)

I've commented out a few lines so I could see what I've done in the past.


Addition:

so, I've now found that Adobe Bridge has trouble opening. After some investigation it looks like Bridge 4 (CS5) doesn't like symbolic links, but prefers to use the networked folder.

After looking into all the Adobe Applications, the only one now which needs the symbolic link is Adobe Acrobat Pro. So I'm re-writing this script to create a symbolic link from ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Acrobat a the local folder.

I'm also getting rid of the Adobe symbolic link so that bridge works.



Addition (08/11/2012)

A few months on and I soon realised that although Illustrator is behaving much better then it did do in the past, I found that if it did not have a symbolic link to the local drive it would have trouble saving and exporting files to the desktop, making it appear that the files were saved, when in fact they had 0kb! This caused a bit of trouble with students at the time, and backups had to be retrieved.

I then added a symlink with ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS5.

I also realised that if it was a new student which didn't have an Application Support folder, NHR would be unable to create an Adobe folder inside this. I hence added a few lines to make the folders:
~/Library/
~/Library/Application Support/
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/
