Hey everyone-
This is my first post, and I’ve been searching around for a while trying to fix my code so the shell script starts with admin priv, any assistance is greatly appreciated!
Here’s the code:
tell application "Terminal"
if (count of windows) is 0 then
do shell script "set +x;clear;" & quoted form of ftkconsole01 & " /dev/" & drivechoice01 & " " & quoted form of destinimage & " --no-sha1 --frag 700M --examiner " & quoted form of examiner01 & " --compress 1;
stty -echo
clear
echo
echo --------------------
echo Your Collection is Finished
echo Please Press End Collection
echo --------------------
echo
exit;" with administrator privileges
else
do script with command "set +x;clear;" & quoted form of ftkconsole01 & " /dev/" & drivechoice01 & " " & quoted form of destinimage & " --no-sha1 --frag 700M --examiner " & quoted form of examiner01 & " --compress 1;
stty -echo
clear
echo
echo --------------------
echo Your Collection is Finished
echo Please Press End Collection
echo --------------------
echo
exit;" in window 1
end if
activate
tell application "Finder" to set visible of process "Terminal" to true
end tell
As you can see, I attempt to run the script with command, in terminal, in a new window, or if one is already opened. I changed the first part (top) and was able to get it to run correctly (prompting for admin privileges). The bottom part is untouched but when i tried to make the same changes to the bottom part, applescript editor barks are me and i think it has to do with the last part “in window 1” that messes it up when trying to add “with administrator privileges”
Any ideas? Should i put the commands in a seperate script file and call it that way? If so, what are some examples? Thank you!
