mac screenshot crontab only got desktop

mac cron screen-capture

I had the same problem yesterday afternoon and after hours of trying, I got it. The problem is the cron doesn't have screen access.

Here's the solution

  1. close SIP.

restart Mac and hold down cmd+r into recovery mode, open terminal input csrutil disable, restart again

  1. grant write permission to TCC

sudo chmod 664 /Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC

  1. grant screencapure privilege to cron and screencapture
sudo sqlite3 "/Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db" 'insert into access values ("kTCCServiceScreenCapture", "/usr/sbin/cron", 1, 1, 1, "", "", "", "UNUSED", "", 0,"")'

sudo sqlite3 "/Library/Application Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db" 'insert into access values ("kTCCServiceScreenCapture", "/usr/sbin/screencapture", 1, 1, 1, "", "", "", "UNUSED", "", 0,"")'
  1. Re-enable SIP

restart Mac and hold down cmd+r into recovery mode, open terminal input csrutil enable, restart again
