Patchomator Installed Updates while using only --yes --write flags

[reuven-cohen]

I am testing a process of Deploying Patchomator to workstations via JAMF.

First Policy Installs\Updates local Patchomator script via Installomator script.

Second Policy then runs the following command:
/usr/local/Installomator/patchomator.sh --yes --write

Previously it worked as intended (9\23\2023), collecting installed apps and writing it to the config file.

The latest run (11\1\2023) it collected installed apps, then began running installomator to update the apps.

Can you post the contents of both policies, and attach a log? Without "--install" patchomator shouldn't do anything beyond detection.

The Install Policy calls the Installomator 10.5 script with variables "patchomator" "NOTIFY=all" "DEBUG=0"

Checking the /usr/local/Installomator folder shows that Patchomator.sh is Version 2023.10.05 - 1.0.8 with a modify date of Oct 16, 2023.

The Installomator.sh files shows version 10.4 although it did download the latest (10.5) but left it as installomator.latest.tar.gz in the folder.

The Patchomator Policy runs the following command:
/usr/local/Installomator/patchomator.sh --yes --write

Log output is as follows:
