#            Name:  set-ea-value.sh
#     Description:  This script is designed to leverage the API to manually
#                   update the value of an EA on a computer record. Handy
#                   for situations where you don't need information actively
#                   pulled from a Mac but still want to set adhoc when needed.
#                   Values for jamfserver, API credentials, EA ID, EA Name,
#                   and value to input in EA set with parameters to make this
#                   script easly reusable.
