Automator

[Banool]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I figured I'd come to the forums since I've been spamming Leon with questions lately

 

In automator, I've made a little app thing that when I run the latest EDP, it will replace the background.png I want as well as my org.Chameleon.boot.plist in my Extra folder automatically. However these require higher level authentication, and I can't figure out how to give my automator app that power (since there's no "run as admin" feature like in windows. 

 

Thank you!

I'm running a Samsung NP900X3C on OS X 10.8.2

On Google there are a lot topics about this. Have a look here, for example: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2571517?start=0&tstart=0

 

You could use this for example:

 

do shell script "sudo /tmp/echome" with administrator privileges

 

(I haven't tested it). If it doesn't work, try doing a Google search with. Automator + sudo. Or automator + run as root.

I've tried a few of the things on google, including that, but they all refer to running a script that doesn't exist. This is just a series of commands made in automator that when it comes to replacing the files it says I don't have permission

Could you please a screenshot of your Automator window?

I think we need to replace those steps with SH commands, if possible .

 

However, I'm not an Automator pro.
