workflow does not work if filevaulit is enabled

Issue #676 new
timothy perfitt created an issue

When using the automaton to kick off the workflows, and with filevauilt enabled, the automaton just shuts down the mac. The issue comes from trying to open terminal but it is at the screen to enter in a user password. I seem to remember that when it was first implemented, you could open Disk Utility. That seems to have changed.

This now seems more consistent with apple silicon and that arduino code is ready written to select erase mac, put into mode where it doesn’t do it again on reboot. However, the code is currently m1 specific.

For this to work, I’ll need to refactor the arduino code to work with both platforms and then add a settings to the automaton configuration to “erase mac” on Intel. I don’t want to remove the “disk utility” option since folks may be using that. I’ll need to add a new checkbox to “Erase Mac” for Intel.
