Hello All, First of, thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm having an issue with my applescript i wrote to launch XAMPP on OSX (10.10.1). Lauching the app goes fine, but i want the script to enter my password (there is a popup at launch,asking for the root password). Here's what i tried:

do shell script "sudo open /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/manager-osx.app" password "MyPassword" with administrator privileges

tell application "System Events" set frontApp to name of first application process whose frontmost is true end tell

tell application frontApp set window_name to name of front window end tell

tell application "Application Manager" keystroke "MyPassword" end tell

But it won't work. Any clue what i am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!!

Solved this with a workaround, i now run a shell script to

"open /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp start" with administrator priviliges

then, there is no pop-up
