Hi all,

I'm using an tool when OSX is loging in, which sets the proxy configuration file etc for the machines.

For the 10.7 and higher devices I use this shell script:

sudo networksetup -setautoproxyurl <interface> "http://myProxyFile/file.wpad"
sudo networksetup -setproxyautodiscovery <interface> on

However this does not work for Yosimite.
I can't find the new command for autoproxy url...
Can someone help me out here ?

The man page indicates the command hasn't changed between 10.9 and 10.10. What happens when you run your command locally? Any output that might help?

Add: command is still there on my machine and has those switches available.

What chfr said: bring up a terminal window and run commands manually to see what happens.

It's there, but not at the top. You'd need to scroll most of the way down to find it.
I see that you'd forgotten the network interface in your initial post, so that would be the issue.
