Munki Notifications

Munki usually just displays the software center whenever a new update is available and requires user interaction. With the use of Yo, we can add persistent notifications that look great.

Requires
  • Yo app installed in /Applications/Utilities
  • Modified com.googlecode.munki.ManagedSoftwareCenter LaunchAgent
  • /usr/local/munki/yo shell script
