Kill a process in OS X?

[Sarah Reichelt]

Hi Ken,

Here is what I do:

   put "#!/bin/sh" & cr into tScript
   put "pw=" & tPassword & cr after tScript
   put "echo $pw | sudo -S " & tCommand & cr after tScript
   get shell(tScript)

where tPassword contains my usual login password (I am an admin user)
and tCommand contains the terminal command that needs to be run using 
sudo.

This has been asked before, so perhaps you could include it in your 
wonderful collection of tips?

Cheers,
Sarah
