Enabling a Task Notification Script
When a task completes, Remote Desktop can run a script that you create. This script is for all completed tasks, and it must be a shell script. There is a default notification script provided, which you can customize for your needs. The script must be a shell script, but you can use various other scripting environments like AppleScripts with the osascript command.
- Make sure you are logged in as an administrator user.
- Open Remote Desktop.
- Choose Remote Desktop > Preferences.
- Click the Tasks button.
- Select "Enable task notification script."
- Choose the location of the script.
The default notification script is located at /Library/Application Support/Apple/Remote Desktop/Notify.
- Close the Preferences window.
