We have a script that we want to update automatically. The script checks for a new version when it runs, and it downloads a zip file, expands that, and installs the contents.
The script is executed from a plist in /System/Library/LaunchAgent/, so it should have root authorization.
Yet when the script runs and it executes the installer command line tool, the install fails for lack of root permission.
I modified the script to simply move (mv -f) the specific components to the appropriate locations (/System/Library/LaunchAgent, etc). But the move fails for lack of root permission.
What am I missing? :-(
