Here are some of the tools I have used in the pass to do various things. If I have to use something today then that would be SSH and Ansible for any mass operations
For all small jobs I generally go with SSH safe and secure.
Here are some of the examples of how you can put SSH to use. Make sure you setup credential keys for ease.

Remove com.techsmith.snagit.plist
------------------------------
1.) Close Snagit and confirm its not running by accessing Activity Monitor. Look for Snagit in the running list of applications.
2.) Click on your Finder and then click the Go menu at the top. Hold down the Option key on your keyboard and choose the Library item in the Go dropdown. Then go to Preferences.
3.) Locate all com.techsmith.snagit.plist files and move them to your trash (there may be one with a 4 in it too)
4.) Confirm that com.techsmith.snagit.plist is no longer in the Preferences folder.
5.) Reboot the computer and try Snagit again.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
