[ITA-390] MAC clean up

in progress

Lindsay Webb

We would like to have a script to run on MACs or an app to run to perform basic cleanup functions (selectable) similar to CCleaner for PC with disk checking & defrag etc

Hi Lindsay Webb
Thank you for your request.
Can I ask how urgent this is as we are as you can see from our roadmap adding additional scripting abilities to our platform for Mac and Linux. (Currently planned for Mac Q1 2024)
The new language(s) should give our team more control and abilities to perform tasks like you are requesting and why I'm asking.

Lindsay Webb

Robin: Any additional functionality for Macs will be very welcome as it is hard to actually justify what Itarian offers Mac users. This particular script has been prompted by us taking on a new customer who all use Macs. For Windows we offer Patch Management & maintenance. We can't do this for Macs :(

Robin

Lindsay Webb: at the moment ITarian offers Mac users basic device information, basic scripting and the ability to deploy and control Xcitium Client Security.

As you can see from the roadmap we are adding OS updates, better scripting and 3rd party app stores.
