MacKeeper Removal Tool for Munki

Can we have an honest talk about MacKeeper, it’s garbage. So bad. So so bad. When I see it in the wild now, infecting it’s stupid face into my user’s computers I just shake my head. To be fair, it’s well made and well deployed across the net. For all intensive purposes the product is a complete success, however so was the shake weight.

I wrote a script with heavy influence from previous writers on the net to kill the current version of MacKeeper. Next I took that script and dropped it into an installer sort of bash file that runs as a postinstall into unixorn’s luggage.

Simply grab the postinstall file from the following URL and after getting The Luggage into your system you could build out a pkg file for munki.

Mitigating Issues with Uptime Reminders by way of MunkiReport

Posted: May 9th, 2018 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »

A lot of our users have can go weeks or months without a reboot. Then they write in to ask for support on their slow Mac. Well…. reboot man! How would you feel if you didn’t sleep for a couple days? To mitigate this we’ve leveraged munkireport and google sheets to automate this process. We’ve created a google sheet with three four columns; USER NAME SERIAL NUMBER COMPUTER NAME ASSOCIATED EMAIL. Then we wrote a python script to pull this information in and cross reference it against computer records that report an uptime greater than 7 days. At the end of the script we email all of those users and ask them to please reboot.


#!/usr/bin/python

# munkireport integration to alerts users of 7 day uptime.
