Re: Rescue Script Repository Thread- Share your scripts
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 command28KViews0likes0Comments
