mac automator
Saturday, September 26th, 2009Someone at work who recently made the switch to the mac asked me to install some network managment scripts on her mac. When she was on the pc I had an .hta application that called ran various .vbs and .bat scripts to switch machines on/off and to copy sets of files on tot the desktops so I’ve got to re-do them for the mac, shouldn’t be too hard, eh?
This is my first bash at using automator but it was very simple. I’ve created an app that accepts folder or files droped on it and copies it to all the machines, just by showing selecting where they are from finder… how easy was that?
Tried to do the same to delete the files, but “computer says no…”, so back to a bit of bash scripting, shouldn’t be too difficult.
Also got to find a WOL (Wake on Lan) binary for mac… found this [http://www.coriolis.ch/en/wakeup/] but cant find a CLI version for bash.
