Hello all,

I have never gotten into applescripts, but now I need one, and I'm not too sure where to begin.

I have a server set up here at home, and from it I serve several personal sites. In a few weeks I will be out of town on business, and will sending people to my site(s). I plan on leaving the sever running, but in the event of a power outage, I need an applescript that restarts apache and webmin via terminal once the machine reboots.

I installed a newer version of apache in a different location, so the system prefs option doesn't work for me.

The 2 commands I need to run are:

/etc/webmin/start

and

/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

I also assume the whole thing would need to begin with a sudo su

Can anyone offer up some tips?

Thanks,

-j

That is a great place to surf for Applescript tips.

You can invoke shell scripts via this command:

Code:
do shell script "scriptname"

You can then save it as a script and put it into you scripts folder and it will be accessible from the menubar.
