Help with "do shell script" in Applescript

dale mox

This is my script:

Code:

do shell script "chmod +x /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app.DISABLED/Contents/MacOS/Dock" password "adminpass" with administrator privileges

do shell script "open /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app.DISABLED"

delay 4

do shell script "chmod -x /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app.DISABLED/Contents/MacOS/Dock" password "adminpass" with administrator privileges

do shell script "/usr/bin/quitdock"





In the last line I originally put:

Code:

do shell script "killall "Dock""





But the double quotes didn't work.



Any help? Maybe a way to define the process number and then do a "kill process_number"?



Thanks,

the extra quotes aren't necessary for killall.

Code:

do shell script "/usr/bin/killall Dock"







but, i suggest you throw everything into one shell script, then execute that.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

/bin/chmod +x /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app.DISABLED/Contents/MacOS/Dock;

/usr/bin/open /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app.DISABLED;

/bin/sleep 4;

/bin/chmod -x /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app.DISABLED/Contents/MacOS/Dock;

/usr/bin/killall Dock;

Thanks,



The point is I want to make this an App that people can easily run to make a hack of mine work well.
