setting the profile
What's the purpose of setting the profile in side the script?
however the user when logins, the profile wil be set.
Then why we need to use that explicitly inside the script?
Thanks

update-profile-cache
UPDATE-PROFILE-CACHE(1) General Commands Manual UPDATE-PROFILE-CACHE(1)
NAME
update-profile-cache - (re)generate profile assignment cache
SYNOPSIS
update-profile-cache
DESCRIPTION
Running this script (re)generates the cache of profile assignments used by desktop-profiles. By default this script is run automatically
once a day by a cron script.
NOTE: No cache of assignments will be generated in cases where cache use isn't supported by desktop-profiles (at the moment caching pro-
file assingments is only supported in the simple case when no group or command requirements are used for activation of profiles,
i.e. when we have a static machine-wide profile assignment).
FILES
/etc/desktop-profiles/*.listing - Files containing the metadata about installed profiles
/etc/default/desktop-profiles - File containing default settings for this script
