>I am trying to write an AppleScript that will delete 7 files/folders. I am using shell commands like: do shell script "rm -r /Options/CAE". I'm running into two problems. 1) I need to add an additional command between each line that will move the script along even if the file is not there. 2) Some of the files such as the ones in Library/StartupItems will not delete because of permissions. Is there a way to delete them without having to incorporate my Admin. name and password into the script? Thanks for any advice!
Have a look at the shell tool osascript
You can use sudo osascript pointing to your AppleScript file from a terminal window.
You can also put the applescript commands in a here document, "<<", stored right in the shell script.
