MunkiMenu 0.2.6

Status Bar item for configuring and running Managed Software Update.
For deploying with Munki See the MunkiMenu repo for details

Major Fix

in v0.2.5 if the --postinstall argument was passed to the MunkiMenu binary at the loginwindow
ManagedSoftwareUpdate would hang. Now MunkiMenu does a better job checking for valid
arguments and exits quietly if there's an error letting installs continue.

Version 0.2.4

Status Bar item for configuring and running Managed Software Update.

For deploying with Munki See the MunkiMenu repo for details

Initial Release MunkiMenu

Simple Status Bar item for launching Managed Software Update.

There are two downloads available, the first is an installer package dmg that will handle the installation of the helper app, launched file on it's own. This is a good choice for unmanaged distribution.

However if distributing with Munki (which would make sense) you should choose the MunkiMenu-App.dmg which just a file-copy distribution and include the following code as a post-install script in the Munki pkginfo.
