#
# Created by Andrew Seago on 07/31/13.
# 
#	This script takes a list of jssIDs and updates a static group with those systems. 
# 	It is important to already have created a blank static group or a static group that you are going to completly overwrite
#	This should not be used on or work on smart groups
#	Use this at your own risk. It works for me but each enviroment is different. 
#	If you get alot of errors your $JSS_ID_PATH file may need to resaved with textwrangler or textmate. 
#	I found issues when Excel or Word saved the file last
#
# 
# set -x	# DEBUG. Display commands and their arguments as they are executed
# set -v	# VERBOSE. Display shell input lines as they are read.
# set -n	# EVALUATE. Check syntax of the script but dont execute
