Confirmed: Enable Night Shift on 2011 iMac

[Daniel Reed]

Works (for now)!

echo "Night Shift Enable Script for Unsupported Macs"
echo "version 1.0"
echo "Script made by Isiah Johnson (TMRJIJ) / OS X Hackers"

I applied and ran Isiah's script on a handful of 2011 iMac desktops today - NO PROBLEMS

Be sure to disable SIP first:

1. Click the  menu.
2. Select Restart...
3. Hold down command-R to boot into the Recovery System.
4. Click the Utilities menu and select Terminal.
5. Type csrutil disable and press return.
6. Close the Terminal app.
7. Click the  menu and select Restart....

Drag "Enable NightShift.sh" into terminal and press return

Follow onscreen instructions... then restart when prompted

You're done - enjoy Night Shift on your older Mac !
Hint - Night Shift settings are in "Displays" on "System Preferences..."

Thank You Isiah Johnson (TMRJIJ) and OS X Hackers !!!

Thanks for the shoutout. Although, It would be best to get the updated version of the script from the GitHub Repository
