Hi,
I’m looking to set the default homepage on Safari so that our website automatically opens whenever the browser is launched. Is there a specific process or set of steps to achieve this? Any guidance on how to do it would be greatly appreciated.

Hello @aaron,
Thanks for reaching out. There are two ways of doing it where one of the ways includes doing it manually. Another one is with the help of a script by replacing the URL you want to set as homepage. You can use the script below to set the homepage on Safari.

homepage="www.hexnode.com" sudo killall -z -m "Safari" -signal # Loop through each user to set homepage prefs for user in $(ls /Users | grep -v Shared | grep -v npsparcc | grep -v ".localized"); do ### Safari ### # Use defaults command to set Safari homepage su - "$user" -c "defaults write com.apple.Safari HomePage $homepage" su - "$user" -c "defaults write com.apple.Safari NewWindowBehavior -int 0" su - "$user" -c "defaults write com.apple.Safari NewTabBehavior -int 0" echo "Set new Safari homepage to $homepage for $user." done |
Replace “www.hexnode.com” with the website you want to set as the homepage.
I hope that helps! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks for the script. Is there anyway that we can execute the script remotely with the help of Hexnode?

You can use the Hexnode’s Execute Custom Script remote action to execute the script.
