Help with Bash?

Ever since Catalina dropped, it seems all the Terminal commands I had stored in a nice little text document so that I could copy paste them whenever I needed them now no longer work.

I am sad panda.

Every time qBittorrent has been updated, I used to have to go through this annoying little process to get rid of the 'Allow incoming connections' box popping up every time I opened the application. Because of this, I had a terminal command saved that would fix this, and it went like this:

Code:

cd /Applications

sudo codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/qbittorrent.app

This no longer works. How do I now do this so that it will work?

 

what error do you get?

 

Run transmission-daemon lol

 

It's probably the security settings in Catalina. You might not be allowed to explicitly give qbittorrent permission in a script any more.

 

People on this forum only know how to complain about Apple, not do anything constructive - So it's not the best place to ask questions like this.

Anyway - Catalina changed the default shell from bash to zsh

Add this line to the top of your script, it will tell Catalina to use the bash interpreter.
#!/bin/bash

But you don't really need to do what you're doing - You're code signing the app to get around the firewall restriction, codesigned apps are given access without exception in Catalina, but they also get access to other system functions. You can just as easily drag the application into the firewall exceptions list, and that should stick when its updated.

 

Interesting some dam good info, just waiting on the next release of cat before i take the dive.
