Hi Guys,
I successfully entered my application in loginwindow.plist through command line. But unable to delete that entry.
How to remove the my added entry from loginwindow.plist from command line or shells script?
From net I found one script which remove the entry from loginwindow.plist,but it remove whole entries from the plist.
The command is:
#!/bin/sh
theApp="your app"
nl=`echo "x" | tr 'x' '\34'` # what is the proper way to set ascii to a variable?
aaa=`defaults read loginwindow AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary`
bbb=`echo -n "$aaa" | sed "s/^[()]$//;s/},/}$nl/" | tr '\n\34' '\00\n'| grep -va "$theApp" | tr '\n\00' ',\n' | sed 's/^,$//'`
defaults write loginwindow AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary "($bbb)"
Waiting for helpful reply.
