Would work on 10.5 -> 10.9? Thanks -Allen PS Bill thank you, and I'm still poking along on 10.8, so it was simple to replace the quotes ;-) On Dec 3, 2013, at 8:56 AM, Per Olofsson <per.olofsson@gu.se> wrote:

Any script that loops through existing local users and does special stuff to each account doesn't take into account users that are created/added _after_ your software is installed. If the machine is connected to a network directory service, either you miss network users, or you (probably incorrectly) modify files in perhaps thousands of network user's homes.

Agreed, never do that. However, if all you do is place a launch agent in the system and want to load it into existing sessions without requiring a logout, that works fine.
