  • Thread-topic: AppleScript UI for timed override code

Hi all. I need a tool that will prompt a user to enter a code, then have that
code passed to shell, and finally the pass/fail response given to the user. I
don’t have much experience with applescript and I am trying to learn. It’s
confussing trying to workflow this going from applescript to sh. Does anyone
have a workflow that will help get me there?

Thank you – Brian

Workflow

  1.  User given code
  2.  User executes script
  3.  User asked for token in UI/ user clicks continue
  4.  Code is passed as variable to the shell. Something like (do shell script
“cd /Applications/Bit9/Tools; ./b9cli -timedoverride $code”
  5.  Pass or fail results echoed back to the use in the UI.


CLI command in terminal (example of failure and success)

path = /Applications/Bit9/Tools


mac:Tools user$ ./b9cli -timedoverride <token>

Failed to decode password



mac:Tools user$ ./b9cli -timedoverride <token>

Timed override set


Osascript idea to prompt for code


/usr/bin/osascript <<EOT





  set theResponse to display dialog "What's your code?" default answer "" with
icon stop buttons {"Cancel", "Continue"} default button "Continue" with hidden
answer





display dialog "My Secret Code is " & (text returned of theResponse) & "."
