Great question. Technician Console scripts can be written in and deployed using any language the operating system can execute. For example a script can be written in a batch file using Visual Basic, or it can be a software package.

 

Some of the examples I provided are probably about as simple as you can get. All I did is use the command you would use at the C prompt and paste it into Notepad and saved it with a ".cmd" extension. 

 

Perhaps a good place to start is using basic commands. Try Googling "command prompt cheat sheet" and that should get you started.

 

Does anyone have any resources for scripting which they have found useful?

To debug VBS scripts interactively, like Visual Basic code debugging, I looked for and found SplineTech VBS Debugger.  http://www.remotedebugger.com/ also appears to have a Java and ASP remote versions.  ~ $80 for a personal version.  Saved me tons of time.

      Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has some examples of scripts for the Mac? Can we run commands in the Terminal? Applescript?

       

       

      I want to script a reinstall of Java 1.5 which is removed during a Snow Leopard upgrade.

      I want to know if it's possible to run these commands as a script

       

      Step 1 Download a file eg 

      www.cesoft.com.au/downloads/java/java5.zip 

      Step 2 Run these commands in Terminal 

      cd Downloads 
      sudo mv 1.5.0 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0-leopard 
      cd /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/ 
      sudo rm 1.5.0 
      sudo ln -s 1.5.0-leopard 1.5.0 
      sudo chown -R root:wheel ./1.5.0-leopard 


      They should be run in a terminal window, but there may be a way to do it with AppleScript. I hope you can give me some pointers. The user will need to enter a password for the first sudo command
