Thanks Sam, Kem, and Fargo,
I'll give this a wack. I tried to find the answer myself so I might
have got myself screwed up some with the 'using administrators
permissions' thing - I think this is an AppleScript thing and not
Shell script.
As for security... this is not an issue. My little slave programs
have no interface so it can not be tampered with. It's only function
is listen on a particular port for specific UDP commands. Commands
can only be sent from the master program which am in control of. I'm
the administrator of a 24 Mac Lab. This is just to streamline my job.
I already can do some real cool stuff... Shut Down & Restart is a
given, but I can do a Repair Disk Permissions, move all desktop items
to the trash, empty the trash, close all Finder windows, run/quit
applications, open a specified browser to a specified URL, sleep,
wake, open/ close CD/DVD drawers, and a bunch more. I can select a
singe Mac or send to all (it's real funny sending an open and close
drawer commands to all - except for our newer Mac the drawers open
and close in unison - kind of like the scene from No Time For
Sergeants except computers and not toilets). I'm still working on a
way to logout from one account and into another using a Shell Script
and implementing a 'Wake On Lan'.
Have an Egg Nog on me... Actually have mine I hate the stuff!
Craig
