Hi,
I'm trying to write a script that sets the automatic login on a mac
to the currently-logged-in user. I have written the script below,
and it seems to work... but not always.
If automatic login is already set to another user on that computer,
when you run the script it succeeds in changing it to the current
user. However, if automatic login is disabled, the script will run
with no errors, but it takes no affect on the autologin preference,
leaving it as disabled. Does anyone know if i am doing something
wrong in my script?
Thanking in advance...
property shortName : ""
try
do shell script "echo $USER"
end try
set shortName to result
display dialog "This application perceives that you are currently
logged in as: " & shortName buttons {"Deny", "Confirm"} cancel
button "Deny" default button "Confirm"
try
do shell script "sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/
com.apple.loginwindow autoLoginUser " & shortName with administrator
privileges
end try
Hello Jess,
It seems there's also a boolean "com.apple.userspref.DisableAutoLogin"
to be updated into /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist.
Also, there should no need to invoke sudo (may even be problematic),
since "with administrator privileges" already provides the needed
functionality.
HTH,
Axel
