Hey all,
I have a script for some users here that runs chflags on our server.
I don't trust these people in the Terminal and with SSH, so they need
a GUI (this I'm handling with AppleScript Studio, but my question is
pure AppleScript)
What I'd like to do is represented by this pseudo-code:
tell application "someapp" of machine "eppc://user:email@hidden"
do shell script "sudo chflags uchg /Volumes/Data/CA\ Policies"
password "adminpassword" with administrator privileges
end tell
For "someapp" I've tried "Finder" and "System Events" with no luck.
What application do I need to tell to "do shell script"?
Hey, telling AppleScript what to do is useful for something! I've
never scripted networked computers, but this works for me:
tell machine "eppc://localhost" to tell AppleScript
do shell script "echo hello"
end tell
But doesn't, as it turns out, mean anything. I tried localhost, but it
seems you can tell "127.0.01" or "10.0.0.1" or "Britney" or "" or
nothing at all and the above will work, but only in the sense that it's
calling a command on one's own machine.
Noticed this after getting a message from a suspicious Christopher
Nebel.
