# ABOUT THIS PROGRAM
#
# NAME
#	applicationMoveToHiddenFolder.sh -- Move an application to a hidden folder to hide it from users and spotlight.
#	This will make it easy to move it back or use as admin if needed.
#	Typically the library of a local admin account.
#
# SYNOPSIS
#
# 	If the $hiddenFolder parameter is specified (parameter 4), this is the folder that will be 
# 	checked for and if not found created.
#	Example:
#	/Users/yourlocaladminaccount/Library/Applications_Hidden/
#
#	If the $app parameter is specified (parameter 5), this is the application that will be 
# 	checked for and moved if to $hiddebFolder if found.
#
# 	f no parameter is specified for parameters 4 and 5, the hardcoded value in the script will be used.
#
# DESCRIPTION
#	This script checks for and creates a folder to move apps to that you don't want your users using
#	Like Photos or the App store, what have you. 
#	Spotlight does not typically search in the Library folder so depending on your environment 
#	you can move the apps to a local admin account if you have one.
