Beispiel: Backup-Starten (macup.sh) und Runterfahren:

• Skripteditor starten
• Script:

  set ACTION to 0
  display dialog the ("Backup und Ausschalten.") buttons {"Abbruch", "nur Backup", "Ausschalten"} default button 3
  
  
  if the button returned of the result is "nur Backup" then
  	set ACTION to 1
  else
  	if the button returned of the result is "Ausschalten" then
  		set ACTION to 2
  	end if
  	
  end if
  
  if ACTION > 0 then
  	set OUT to do shell script ("~/macup/macup.sh 2>&1")
  	(* bei Fehler Abbruch durch AppleScript, in diesem Fall ok *)
  	if ACTION = 1 then
  		display dialog "Backup OK
  		
  " & OUT buttons {"Fertig"} default button 1
  	end if
  end if
  
  if ACTION > 1 then
  	display dialog ("Rechner herunterfahren?")
  	(* tell application "Finder" to shut down *)
  end if

• Speichern als „Programm“ (dann kann mans im Finder durch Doppelklicken starten)
• „Programm“ auf Dock ziehen und Starten

tell application "Terminal"
	do script with command "ssh user@server.de"
	set name_of_window to (get name of front window)
	set id_of_window to (get id of front window)
	set active_tab_of_window to (get selected tab of window id id_of_window) as record
	set active_tab_of_window_record to active_tab_of_window as list
	set active_tab_of_window_record_id to (get item 3 of active_tab_of_window_record) as integer
	set custom title of tab active_tab_of_window_record_id of window id id_of_window to "user@server.de"
        activate
end tell

• „fast alles am Ende“ ist nur um den titel zu setzen. Geht das auch einfacher ?
• „activate“ bringt Applikation nach vorne (alle Fenster)

2. Version: ermittel den eigenen Dateinamen, um damit den Zielrechner zu bestimmen (dann reich ein einfaches Kopieren der Datei für einen neuen Server).

tell application "iTerm"
	
	# eigenen Dateinamen ermitteln (ohne Pfad und ohne .app) -> myName
	set myPath to path to me as text
	if myPath ends with ":" then
		set n to -2
	else
		set n to -1
	end if
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
	set myName to text item n of myPath
	if (myName contains ".") then
		set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "."
		set myName to text 1 thru text item -2 of myName
	end if
	set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
	
	set Hostname to myName
	
	set Terminalfenster_1 to (make new terminal)
	tell Terminalfenster_1
		#set number of columns to 80
		#set number of rows to 25
		
		set Tab_1 to (make new session at the end of sessions)
		tell Tab_1
			activate
			set name to Hostname
			#set background color to "black"
			#set foreground color to "green"
			#set transparency to "0.1"
			exec command "/bin/bash"
			write text "ssh " & Hostname
		end tell -- Tab_1	
	end tell -- Terminalfenster_1	
end tell

do shell script ("\"/Applications/Chicken of the VNC.app/Contents/MacOS/Chicken of the VNC\" --Display 25124 chicago.sscvp.net &> /dev/null &")

Besonderheiten:

• Script läuft im Hintergrund (&> /dev/null &)
• \„ um Scriptname, wegen der Leerzeichen
• Parameter für Chicken (starte Programm direkt mit –help zeigt Syntax)

tell application "Mail"
	set ist_aktiv to (get enabled of account "NUREG")
	set enabled of account "NUREG" to not ist_aktiv
end tell

set box_user to "kfr"
set my_boxes to {„host1.de“, „host2.de“}
set ssh_opt to "-L 4040:localhost:4040 -p 23765 "
set my_cmd to {"sudo bash", "apt-get update", "apt-get upgrade -V", "checkrestart"}

tell application "iTerm"
	activate
	set t to (make new terminal)
	tell t
		(* Loop over the boxes, create a new tab and connect. *)
		repeat with box in my_boxes
			activate current session
			launch session "Default Session"
			tell the last session
				set conn to "ssh " & ssh_opt & box_user & "@" & box
				set name to box_user & "@" & box
				write text conn
				repeat with cmd in my_cmd
					write text cmd
				end repeat
			end tell
		end repeat
	end tell
end tell
